Job overview
We are looking to appoint one full-time Consultant Gastrointestinal (GI) Radiologist post based at the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The post includes programmed activities in GI and general radiology. We can also support another subspecialty interest. We need to fill posts in paediatrics, neurology and cardiothoracic radiology.
The post has arisen because of sabbatical leave. The successful candidate will join a team of 30 consultant radiologists to help deliver Diagnostic Imaging Services to the Trust and local commissioners. Candidates are required to have a subspecialty interest in GI imaging and associated intervention.
The department can be flexible in its approach and support a candidate who wishes to maintain experience in general radiology or another subspecialty interest whilst fulfilling the GI sessional commitments of the post. The Lister Hospital site is fully accredited for training with 12 ST Trainee.
Main duties of the job
The workload of the successful candidate would be approximately that recommended by the Royal College of Radiologists. The
successful candidate would also play a role in teaching and developing skill mix within the Unit and participate in the MDT meetings.
Working for our organisation
At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
- The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
- New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
- Hertford County, Hertford
- Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
