We are looking to appoint a 1.00 WTE ST4-ST8 Paediatric Clinical Fellow to join our team of 14 WTE Consultants.
Neptune Children's ward is a general paediatric ward that caters typically from birth to 16 years. There are 10 side rooms (prioritised for those requiring isolation) and one six bedded bay that caters for those children requiring emergency, elective or high dependency care. There is an additional four bedded nursery with cots.
As an employee of the Trust, you will work in close co-operation with all departments and other medical, professional and managerial colleagues to provide high quality healthcare to the Trust’s patients. Middle grade medical personnel work on a shift system but have a nominated consultant. Wherever possible, the timetable aims to provide continuity of middle grade medical staff, although there may be occasions where the On-Take commitment and the junior doctor’s requirement lead to alternative arrangements.
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest trusts in the country, serving a population of 1.2 million people. Our newly formed Trust, comprising acute hospital sites at Broomfield in Chelmsford, Basildon and Southend, is determined to provide the best health services for its local population. We are a well-led, high-performing and innovative organisation working in the best interests of the people we serve.
With a workforce of approximately 15,000 staff, we can now do more and go further in delivering health services to our local communities. Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
