Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The successful candidate will be on the Full and Specialist Register of the GMC or be eligible for registration within six months of interview. It is expected that the appointee will hold Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath) or ACICE or show evidence of equivalent training and experience. Because of the significant direct clinical care component of the post, holding the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) or equivalent is essential.
Applicants that are UK trained must also be a holder of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) or be within six months of award of CCT by date of interview. Applicants that are non-UK trained will be required to show evidence of equivalence to the UK CCT.
We wish to appoint an enthusiastic colleague who will be committed to driving service development. The Department will be flexible in supporting the development of one or more sub-specialty interests in Clinical Immunology and Allergy. As part of their application process, we would encourage prospective candidates to discuss their personal interests with the Divisional Director (Dr. Claire Greaves), the Head of Service (Kate Hopkinson), and with other departmental consultant colleagues.
New consultants are actively supported at NUH with a mentoring programme in their early years as a consultant as well as an additional 0.5 PA in the first year to allow development of skills relevant to their new role.
