We have a 1-year fixed term post available in the Paediatrics department, and the post holder will be expected to participate in the middle grade rota covering Acute Paediatrics and Local Neonatal Unit. This is an excellent opportunity within Paediatrics at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.
The post holder will be encouraged to participate in audits, presentations and teachings. Although, this post is not recognised for training the appointee will be encouraged in their training and development within the role.
The appointee will join the Paediatric team at middle grade level, rotating between General Paediatrics and Neonates. The appointee will take part in outpatient clinics under the supervision of the consultant team and supervise the work of the junior trainees. Working patterns and timetables will be equivalent to those expected of the training grade registrars. This includes normal day work, weekends and nights.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
