The post holder will join a medical team of 3 Consultants, 3 Specialty Doctors and 2.9 GP trainees, and will provide middle grade support to the hospice inpatient unit, with opportunity for Community sessions dependant on experience. Development and career progression will be supported in line with the applicant's level of training/personal development goals.
The on call component will be at least 1:9 weekends and one weekday non-resident on call shift per week.
