The North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust is a medium-sized acute and community trust with over 525 beds and over 600 community staff, serving more than 600,000 people living across Enfield and Haringey and the surrounding areas, including Barnet and Waltham Forest.
The hospital has been on its present site for over 100 years and was established as an NHS trust by statute in December 1990. The Trust’s services are provided on the North Middlesex University Hospital site as well as a range of community sites across the London Borough of Enfield, including at partner hospitals. They provide services in collaboration with a range of partners, including local GPs, acute, mental health and other community health service providers across North Central London.
In the year ending 31 March 2022, the Trust reported a turnover of £419.7m and employed almost 4,000 staff. Following the transfer of Enfield Community Services on 1st April 2023, this has increased as we have welcomed over 600 new staff including District Nurses, Community Matrons, Community Physiotherapists, Psychologists and many more across a wide range of adult and children’s community services in Enfield. It is an exciting time to join North Mid as we continue our journey to become an integrated care organisation to deliver high quality, seamless care in our local communities, with a focus on tackling health inequalities.
Job overview
We are seeking to appoint dynamic and enthusiastic candidates to the position Consultant for the Enfield Community Paediatric Service.
All applicants are required to have substantial clinical experience in Community Paediatrics and they should have relevant experience in the clinical management of children including those with neuro-developmental, emotional, behavioural and attachment difficulties, child protection, and adult health issues pertinent to parenting.
Although this post is advertised as full time in the first instance, we would welcome enquiries and applications from part time applicants. This is a permanent post within the Trust.
Please note this role is an on-site position with face to face clinics in the community setting. Administrative duties can be agreed to be worked off-site in agreement with departmental service needs and plans.
We have a busy, dedicated paediatric child development service seeing hundreds of children in the local community of Enfield. The CDT is fully integrated with psychology, allied health professionals and nursing staff, based at Cedar House and within other community settings. The successful candidate will join a team of 5 Paediatric Consultants/Specialist Doctors and will undertake work in Community Paediatrics, Child Development Team (CDT).
Main duties of the job
All doctors are expected to contribute to the Child Development Team service delivery as a unified team and participate on a rotational basis to delivering services not viewed as their lead role, in order to prevent gaps in services and maintain professional knowledge and skills in the specialist area of Community Paediatrics. This includes participation on weekday/daytime roster for Child Protection Medical Examinations and regular scheduled clinics for Initial Health Assessments as part of our Looked After Children provision. The post holder will also be required to cover colleagues as and when necessary during planned or unplanned leave of absence.
The services have recently transferred to North Middlesex University Hospital and the Community Paediatric Consultants team is currently re-establishing itself.
Enfield Borough has a multi-ethnic population with a high index of deprivation. This is both a challenging and a rewarding setting to work in.
We are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, dynamic and are passionate about the children and families we support and the quality of care we provide. We welcome applications from individuals who possess excellent interpersonal skills and bedside manners.
All posts may be amenable to part time working and can be further discussed during the interview.
Working for our organisation
North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS’s, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an ICS infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.
We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities

4. Actively participate in any teaching programme within the service and undertake supervision, teaching and training of medical trainees and other multi-professional staff, in line with guidance from the relevant Royal Colleges or specialty bodies.
