We are looking to expand our medical workforce with new substantive medical teams taking over two dedicated 14-16 bedded units. The ideal candidate for these roles would be holders of a dual CCT in General Internal Medicine, and another medical specialty. The successful candidate will be supported as part of their respective specialty team and undertake clinics and activity within their specialty as well as looking after GIM patients. All medical specialties are welcome, but we would particularly encourage colleagues with a CCT in Endocrinology/Diabetes or Respiratory to apply.

The successful candidate will be expected to agree a formal job plan with the Chief of Medicine indicating the number of fixed sessions, within 1 month of taking up post.

These will be in accordance with those approved by the Trust.

Any consultant who is unable, for personal reasons, to work full-time will be eligible to be considered for this post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job plan will be discussed on a personal basis in consultation with consultant colleagues.

The new consultant will be required to reside not more than 30 minutes travelling time by road from their base hospital, unless specific approval is given to a greater distance.
