Paediatric Clinical Fellow - ST4+

Senior Clinical Fellow

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is the only acute hospital provider in the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System (ICS), which is a system of health and care partners working together for our local population.

Within Mid and South Essex there are 149 GP practices, operating from over 200 sites, forming 27 Primary Care Networks and one Ambulance Trust. There are also three main community and mental health service providers who work together through a community collaborative.

We collaborate with other valuable partners, including three Healthwatch organisations, nine voluntary and community sector organisations and three top tier local authorities, with seven district, borough and city councils, as well as our local universities.

 

Job overview

We are looking to appoint a ST4-ST8 Paediatric Clinical Fellow to join our team of  14  Consultants.

Neptune Children's ward is a general paediatric ward that caters typically from birth to 16 years.

There are 10 side rooms (prioritised for those requiring isolation) and one six bedded bays that cater for those children requiring emergency, elective or high dependency care. There is an additional four bedded nursery with cots.

Main duties of the job

As an employee of the Trust, you will work in close co-operation with all departments and other medical, professional and managerial colleagues to provide high quality healthcare to the Trust’s patients.

We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust.
