Summary

A Vacancy at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.


This is a full-time post for a Consultant cardiologist with sub-specialty interest in cardiac MRI and is designed to keep up with the increasing demands on our local service, but also an exciting opportunity to enhance and further strengthen Cardiology services at CHFT. Applicants will be required to have, in addition to training and experience in cardiac MRI reporting, a wide range of experience in general cardiology and will join 10 full time and one part-time cardiology consultants in the Trust. A complementary sub-specialist interest in heart failure is encouraged; but other sub-specialty interests can also be accommodated.

The post holder will be expected to work with colleagues at both sites as required to support the service. The post holder will contribute to the current 1:10 Consultant of the week model for delivering cardiology inpatient care at CRH. There will also be a commitment to a 1:10 cardiology on call service/ weekend rota across the Trust. There is no commitment to general medicine on call.

Applications are encouraged from experienced consultants wishing to take up a new challenge or newly accredited consultants who will be supported through our highly regarded development programmes. The post holder is encouraged to develop his/her own sub-specialty interest.

This is a Full-Time post providing 10 Programmed Activities (PAs), but applicants wishing to work part-time are also encouraged to apply and job plans will be adjusted accordingly, and by negotiation with appointees.

If you want to join a supportive and friendly team providing compassionate care then come and join us to help us achieve ‘outstanding’ in the next CQC inspection. We are nestled in the heart of the stunning Pennine hills; the area which inspired the works of the Bronte sisters. We’re conveniently located close to Manchester, and surrounded by breath-taking scenery, places to visit and things to do. With an affordable housing market and fantastic schools CHFT is perfect for family life as well as professional development.

The Foundation Trust aims to design and implement services, policies and measures that meet the diverse needs of our service, population and workforce, ensuring that none are placed at a disadvantage over others.
