Job Advert: 3 x Locum Consultant Community Paediatricians – Neurodevelopment
Location: Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children, St Helier Hospital
Contract: 12-month Fixed Term
Job Plan: 6 PAs (full-time); part-time and job share applications welcome
Start Date: As soon as possible
We are seeking to appoint three Locum Consultant Community Paediatricians with a special interest in Neurodevelopment to join our friendly and committed team at Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.
These posts are based at Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children and will support the delivery of community paediatric services across Sutton and Merton. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team offering high-quality care for children with a wide range of developmental needs.
We welcome applications from enthusiastic and dedicated individuals who want to make a meaningful contribution to child health in our local communities.
Apply now to join our progressive and supportive team.
• Leading neurodevelopmental clinics, including assessments for ASD and complex needs in under-5s
• Supporting education health care needs assessments (EHCNA) and medicals for looked-after children
• Triaging referrals and supervising the neurodevelopment nursing team
• Contributing to strategic service development in collaboration with local partners
• Participating in educational, quality improvement, and peer review activities within the department
There is no on-call commitment unless desired. The post offers regular SPA time and supports continued professional development.
We are truly an integrated health and care Trust. In simple terms, that means that as well as the services we provide at our acute care hospitals (Epsom in Surrey and St Helier nearby in south west London) we work with local GPs, mental health services, community providers and local authorities, with the joint aim of preventing local people from becoming unwell, and when they do, that they receive the right care, in the right place, with the right support.
So, as well as great hospital care, together we offer an increasing range of services. These include adult community health, sexual health and children's therapies. Many of these community services are run by the partnerships we host, Surrey Downs Health and Care and Sutton Health and Care.
Continuing the partnership theme, we also host and run some exceptional hospital-based services including the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Service – rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) – and we also have the largest nephrology (care around kidney disease) service in the UK, that isn't co-located with a transplant service.
We also work as part of the St George’s, Epsom and St Helier Hospital and Health Group, with a shared leadership and increasing collaboration to develop stronger clinical and corporate services between two major providers serving Surrey and South West London
Person Specification:
• GMC registration with inclusion on the Specialist Register (or within 6 months of CCT)
• Experience in community paediatrics, particularly neurodevelopment
• Excellent communication and multidisciplinary team working skills
• Commitment to patient-centred care and service improvement
