___________________________________

We are seeking two energetic, enthusiastic, highly skilled consultants with broad experience in children and young people’s diabetes and/or endocrinology to join our team at University College Hospital (UCLH).

There are 12-13 PAs available to be used flexibly across the diabetes and endocrine services depending on the expertise and preference of the appointed candidates e.g. one fulltime and one less than fulltime position, or two less than fulltime positions, with the proviso that minimum number of diabetes PAs is 3 for one of the positions.

CV required with application.

Diabetes (total 8-9 PA)

The Children and Young People’s Diabetes Service is well established and is one of the largest in the UK, using the latest diabetes technologies including hybrid closed loop insulin delivery systems. The service also provides intensive support for young people struggling with their diabetes. This is an award-winning service with outstanding results.

We would particularly value applicants with active experience in research, pre-clinical type 1 diabetes, immunotherapy or technology. The appointee may have an additional interest that complements the current skills within our team, including mental health, safeguarding, neurodevelopment or adolescent medicine. There is a possible future oncall for diabetes.

Endocrinology (4 PA)

UCLH provides a busy paediatric and adolescent endocrine service for local residents, those from London and the South East as well as tertiary and quaternary adolescent referrals. The service also incorporates endocrine liaison clinics for the NHS England specialist services for Children and Young People with Gender Incongruence (previously GIDS).




University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) is one of the most complex NHS trusts in the UK, serving a large and diverse population. We provide academically led acute and specialist services, to people from the local area, from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. Our vision is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education, and world-class research.

We are committed to sustainability and have pledged to become a carbon net zero health service, embedding sustainable practice throughout UCLH. We have set an ambitious target of net zero for our direct emissions by 2031 and indirect emissions by 2040.


We would expect the appointee to have or develop a sub-speciality interest in endocrinology that complements the current interests within our department, such as puberty and reproductive endocrinology disorders, pituitary disorders, adrenal disorders, DSD, late effects of cancer treatments, and to support the endocrine component of the NHS England specialist services for Children and Young People (CYP) with Gender Incongruence (previously GIDS).



Teaching and research

The appointee will be expected to participate in teaching activities on the UCH site, liaise with the GOSH teaching and training lead, and will be responsible for educational supervision of trainees.

The appointee will be part of a dynamic department with great opportunities for training, education and leadership and research. The Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes and endocrinology Department at UCLH forms a partnership with the Paediatric Endocrinology Department at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Training and education is developed jointly across the two sites, and there are opportunities to collaborate closely with the Diabetes team at GOSH in terms of research, education and clinical care.

We are developing innovative integrated approaches to clinical care with partner organisations outside the hospital. A new Electronic Health Record System offers exciting opportunities in both Quality Improvement and Research.
