Applications are invited for two posts as Paediatric Senior Education Fellows (ST3+) in General Paediatrics. These posts are fixed term of 12 months, commencing in September 2026.

Southampton Children’s Hospital is a busy tertiary hospital which covers all paediatric specialties. In addition to both posts providing care for General Paediatric in-patients and out-patients and providing out of hours care as part of the on-call middle grade rota in Child Health, you will provide undergraduate clinical teaching in Child Health for medical students from Southampton University, and support post-graduate educational activities within Southampton Children’s Hospital. Additional clinical or non-clinical interests will also be supported throughout the post.

Please note that GMC registration (with a licence to practice) and right to work in the UK are essential for this role. Successful applicants will already have GMC registration or will be able to demonstrate they are eligible.

Attached you will find the person specification document which provides more detail about the essential and desirable skills and experience needed for this role. We highly recommend you review this document and use it when completing your application as these criteria are used by hiring managers as guidance during shortlisting.

For an overview of the main duties of the role please see the ‘Job Description and Main Responsibilities’ section below. To understand the day-to-day responsibilities in more detail please read the full job description document attached.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

-Your job plan will cover clinical work as part of the general paediatric team covering acute admissions to the Children’s Hospital and ward based care (in normal working hours), and as part of the middle grade on-call rota coving all paediatric specialities (excluding PICU, NICU and cardiology) during evenings, weekends and nights.
