Job overview

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) is delighted to invite applications for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Consultant Neurologist to join our diverse and expanding team within the Regional Neurosciences Centre serving North East London and Essex. This post is a fixed-term appointment to provide maternity cover.

Our Neurosciences Centre provides tertiary care for a population of 2.5 million, with Neurology delivering services to a local population of 750,000. The department delivers approximately 900 outpatient appointments per month, alongside acute inpatient and interventional services covering a broad range of neurological conditions.

As demand for our services continues to grow, this fixed-term appointment offers an excellent opportunity to join a well-established consultant team and contribute to the delivery of high-quality, timely care in the most appropriate clinical setting. The successful applicant will be encouraged to support service development and contribute to evolving models of care within Neurology.

Applications are welcomed from candidates seeking full-time, part-time, or flexible working arrangements for the duration of the fixed-term contract. The post holder will be expected to contribute to clinical governance, research and development activity, and undergraduate and postgraduate education across the Trust.

Applicants must hold full GMC registration and be included on the Specialist Register.

Main duties of the job

The appointee will be expected to provide a full range of clinical services in Neurology using a team-based approach and be responsible for good clinical governance within their practice and the Department.  The appointee will contribute to the effective functioning of the Department and will share responsibility for the Management and Education of Junior Medical staff. 
 
The post holder will be encouraged to develop his/ her area of specialist interest, whilst helping to achieve RTT targets. 
 
The trust and the Department of Neurology are committed to equitable working conditions for all employees.  

Please see the attached JD for full details.

Working for our organisation

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. 

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission. 

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care. 

We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance

We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.  

The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

Some of the positive changes we’ve made are captured in this film.  

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Although this position is a 12 months fixed-term contract, the actual contract duration will be adjusted to account for the time taken to advertise the post, complete the hiring process, and finalise pre-employment checks. This means the contract will begin when the candidate starts the role and may be slightly shorter than 12 months.

Once you understand the requirements outlined in the advert, please ensure your application accurately reflects where you match them.  For further information regarding the role please read the attached Job Description and Person Specification.

Please note that we may close adverts prior to closing dates to streamline shortlisting process.
