Consultant in Community Paediatrics - 10 PAs
We are an expanding, forward-planning department seeking to appoint a consultant colleague who will help us move forward and develop our services. These are both exciting and challenging times. We are slowly moving to a hybrid model and would consider an applicant with a variety of experience caring for children with complex needs, including within specialist acute teams where the usual community training pathway may not have been followed. Our vision is for a fully integrated Child Health Service.
The successful candidate will join a team of highly dedicated medical, nursing, and therapy professionals committed to providing a high-quality service to local children and their families.
We recognise the challenges with work-life balance, and this will be considered when formalising the job plan. There is the option to undertake some SPA time at home. We are happy to consider part-time or job share candidates with the appropriate skills.
