Consultant Community Paediatrician | Sherwood

Overview

We are keen to attract a proactive and enthusiastic Community Paediatric consultant who will enjoy working within our team within a new post. This post has no out of hours commitment. Our current team includes Community Paediatricians, General Paediatricians who have developed a specialist interest, Specialty doctors and Specialist nurses who live locally or commute from around the region. We are also well supported by our administrative team.

We would welcome applications from either Community, Neurodisability or General Paediatricians, or those within 6 months of either completion of their CCT. We would offer training, and support where required. The post includes delivery of general community paediatric clinics in the Mid Nottinghamshire area in the Mansfield/Ashfield/Newark and Ollerton area dependent on clinical need plus autism assessment. Daytime (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm) child protection on call is offered for social care requested medical assessments (section 47) for physical abuse on a rota basis.

Special interests and skills of applicants will be considered and additional duties may include additional safeguarding, neuro-disability/SEND, appraisal/supervision and teaching. The overriding purpose is to support the provision of the highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust providing acute and community healthcare services for 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Sherwood and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. We are working closely with partners in health and social care through the Mid Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Partnership to take collective responsibility for managing resources, delivering NHS standards, and improving the health of the population we serve.

We put the patient at the centre of everything that we do, and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other.

We believe that we are truly a clinically led organisation. We are truly proud to be the HSJ Trust of the Year for 2020, and of our CQC ratings.
