Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

A new opportunity has arisen for a post as Consultant Medical Virologist at Manchester Medical Microbiology Partnership. We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join our team and be a driving force in further developing our clinical service.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the largest Virology departments in the country. This post is a medical 10 programmed activity substantive (permanent) post available immediately, with an allowance for work done on call. The departmental and service delivery needs are for the equivalent of a whole-time post, however part-time and flexible working will be considered. The post-holder will join an established team of five other Virology consultants and five clinical scientists.

The Manchester Medical Microbiology Partnership (MMMP) is a partnership between Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). MFT is one of the largest trusts in England and provides a broad range of services including adult and paediatric transplant, critical care and Infectious Diseases.

Applicants will be expected to have relevant qualifications (including CCT or equivalent; and FRCPath or equivalent and experience with clinical virology and public health virology.

The post holder will work with the Virology clinical team to provide specialist Virology clinical services to the Trust and will be encouraged to develop and pursue areas of specialist interest.

The post-holder will be employed by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust but will be expected to hold an honorary contract with UKHSA to facilitate the provision of public health virology services that the department provides to the Northwest region of England. Our public health activities include providing specialist clinical support to outbreaks within the region, provision of post-exposure treatment for relevant infections and assistance with national incident response. T

The department is actively involved with research and teaching, having close links with the University of Manchester and being a center for doctors undertaking specialist ID/ Virology training. The department has recently opened a Pathogen Genomics Sequencing Laboratory with UKHSA to facilitate the development of novel diagnostic tools for infectious diseases. The post-holder will therefore have the opportunity to engage in wide range for research and innovation activities as well as undergraduate and post-graduate teaching.

MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we’ve launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the ‘NHS England’ website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
