The appointee should be experienced in medical and surgical management of routine and complex Otology and Auditory Implants, and will be expected to integrate with and complement existing service provision. The appointee will join the RNTNEH Multi-disciplinary Otology and Auditory Implant team and will be expected to further develop the service

This provisional job plan is subject to agreement and change. The NHS is moving towards 6 day working for elective activity, and there is an expectation that all new appointees have an element of Saturday working in their job plan.

The new post-holder will be expected to discuss and agree a detailed job plan including personal and professional objectives with the Clinical Director within three months of start date; and the Consultant may be required to undertake a prospective diary exercise to inform this process.

Of the 6 PA’s, 5 will be Direct Clinical Care, including an on-call commitment of 1 in 12; and then 1 SPA. The DCC job plan follows a team based approach.
