We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated, ambitious individual to join our well integrated team.



We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated and ambitious individual to join our well integrated team. Newcastle is proud to be a leading clinical and academic centre for ageing and geriatrics. We have a strong focus on innovation, research and driving quality of care for older people. As such, we are looking for a dynamic geriatrician who is passionate about innovation and will work well within a progressive team of 16 Geriatricians. While the Department of Older People’s Medicine has a strong emphasis on managing frailty across our wards, clinics, day units and community services, we continue to develop our frailty-based strategy which includes a focus on community and ‘front door’ frailty, admission avoidance and comprehensive geriatric assessment out of hospital. We would envisage that the post holder will play a key role in shaping new ways of working, by taking a key role in front of house frailty service developments, or by supporting other aspects of departmental sub-specialty service delivery and development.

The delivery of clinical services within Older People’s Medicine in-patient wards, day unit, out-patient, ‘front of house’ frailty and community services. Additional sessions to support a sub-speciality interest, and teaching and research opportunities are likely to be available, appropriately job planned.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

Our staff oversee over 6,500 patient contacts every day, delivering high standards of healthcare from the following sites:

• Freeman Hospital
• Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI)
• Health Innovation Neighbourhood (on the former Newcastle General Hospital and Centre for Ageing and Vitality site)
• Newcastle Dental Hospital
• Newcastle Fertility Centre
• Northern Centre for Cancer Care, North Cumbria
• Northern Genetics Service
• Cramlington Manor Walks

These include a range of flagship services which deliver cutting-edge care (supported by state-of-the-art diagnostic services in both radiology and pathology) and are a catalyst for innovation to support pioneering clinical practice in the NHS.

We also have offices at Regent Point in Gosforth and community sites.
