About the Role
This is a non-rotational post offering the opportunity to work autonomously with a varied and often complex paediatric caseload.

• Supporting and educating MDT colleagues and students.
• Managing your own caseload and contributing to service planning.
Communication & Teamwork
You’ll be a confident communicator, able to liaise effectively across disciplines and with families. You’ll attend case conferences, write clinic letters, and ensure seamless onward referrals. Compassion and clarity are key—especially when delivering sensitive information.
Education & Development
We value growth. You’ll be encouraged to:
• Engage in in-service training.
