Job overview
We are seeking a new substantive Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine to join our friendly and proactive department at Ipswich Hospital, part of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT).

Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will normally be required to reside within a distance of 10 miles by road of the main hospital base or 30 minutes travel time when performing non-resident on call duties, in order that they are able to attend urgent and emergency cases. Some consultants live further than this during their working week but stay locally when on call. Advice can be sought at visits regarding areas for relocation. Relocation expenses are available for successful candidates.
Additional roles may also be offered, once the new appointee is settled in, subject to mutual agreement, which may require onsite non clinical work. These will be remunerated through APA within the job plan. If appropriate, the appointee will be named as an anaesthetic trainee Educational Supervisor. Educational supervision is paid at a rate of 0.25PA per trainee (max 0.75PA).
Any pre-existing consultant level additional NHS responsibilities will be discussed at interview and can be accommodated by mutual agreement.
