A Vacancy at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.
Applications are invited for a full-time substantive consultant post in Paediatrics with special interest in Epilepsy and Neurology at Lister Hospital, East and North Hertfordshire NHS trust. It will be desirable (but not essential) to have previous experience and training in Epilepsy and Neurology at tertiary hospital level. We also welcome applicants who wish to develop Neurology/Epilepsy as a special interest (SPIN) post-CCT. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Paediatrician who wants to join a friendly and supportive Paediatric team.
The post holder will participate in a 1:12 on-call Consultant rota, working weekdays and weekends covering Acute Paediatrics. The post holder will undertake both general Paediatric and Epilepsy/Neurology clinics. They will be supported by our current senior epilepsy specialist Consultant, Epilepsy specialist nurses and our regional Paediatric epilepsy network (EPEN).
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.
