The Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth
St John & St Elizabeth Hospital is a private hospital in St Johns Wood, moments walk from St Johns Wood tube station. The hospital is London's leading charitable hospital, and uniquely its business model is that all profits are used to part fund an NHS commissioned hospice, St Johns Hospice, which is an integral part of the hospital's estate. St Johns Hospice provides high quality, holistic care to those with life-limiting illnesses and their families across North London, all completely free of charge.
St John & St Elizabeth Hospital has an ever-increasing paediatric demand within its Urgent Care Centre, as well as within its dedicated paediatric outpatient department. Strategically, the hospital's vision is to develop its paediatric services further and provide a day case surgical pathway, initially treating minor and moderate complexity surgery, for clinically well children, above the age of 3.
Main duties of the job
To support this pathway and ensure the delivery of safe and high-quality care, the hospital seeks post-FRCA stage 2 or 3 trainees, who have completed Stage 2 paediatric competencies, or equivalent. Applicants need to be EPLS providers at the point at which they commence work for the hospital, but there may be an opportunity to seek support from the hospital for this training and accreditation.
Successful applicants will work as bank employees of the hospital, earning a very competitive rate. They will be expected to be onsite from 09:00-19:00hrs, and their primary role will be to support the Consultant Anaesthetists, who provide primary care to the paediatric surgical patients. It is expected that the onsite paediatric anaesthetist will support the Consultant Anaesthetist in theatre, recovery, and the wards. Of note, the post holder will be directly responsible and supervised by the relevant Consultant Anaesthetist. There will be a named Consultant Paediatrician to provide additional support in the unlikely event that the child's care requires their input.
