Based in Immunology, ID and Bone Marrow Transplantation
We are currently inviting applications for an exciting opportunity to gain or extend your clinical experience of Immunology, Infectious Diseases and Bone Marrow Transplantation in this unique and supportive environment within a busy children’s hospital.
The post is suitable for someone who wishes to consolidate previous experience/training in Immunology, Infectious Diseases and/or Bone Marrow Transplantation, or for someone with previous middle-grade paediatric experience who has an interest in these areas. MRCPCH (or equivalent) is essential. The post-holders will be involved in the in-patient care of children affected by a wide range of primary immunodeficiency disorders and infectious diseases, and will also gain some experience of bone marrow transplantation, working as part of a larger team of middle grade doctors.
Applicants must be registered with the GMC with a Licence to Practice or eligible for registration.
Main duties of the job
This is an established Trust Fellow post, working in the Immunology/Infectious Diseases/BMT Unit. The post holder will join the teams managing the care of Immunology, Infectious Diseases and BMT in-patients and children attending the Safari Day care unit.
The immunology department offers a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment service for children with recurrent infections and primary immunodeficiency. Some of the severe forms of immunodeficiency are treated by bone marrow transplantation (BMT). There is an active translational research programme in gene therapy for immune deficiencies and novel cell based therapies for treatment of these conditions.
Working for our organisation
We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as the communities we serve, and we hope to attract applications from underrepresented groups, including people with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic heritage, people with a disability, and people from LGBTQ+ communities. By growing an ever more diverse workforce, we’ll have a greater range of perspectives and knowledge, meaning that we can provide the children and young people at our hospital with even better care.
Our hospital is committed to creating an environment that is open and inclusive. Our staff are encouraged to engage with colleagues through the following networks: REACH (Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage) ENABLED (Enhancing Abilities & Leveraging Disabilities Network), PRIDE and Women’s networks; all of which are sponsored by a member of our Executive Management Team.
We want to ensure that all of our people, regardless of their background, are seen and heard. We want to attract applicants that share our commitment to inclusion and that understand diversity is a strength that is embraced and valued.
