Peterborough, United Kingdom North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a dynamic and cohesive team of paediatricians at Northwest Anglia Foundation Trust (NWAFT).

We are looking to appoint a general paediatrician with an interest in epilepsy or who is motivated to develop a subspecialty interest in epilepsy to join a team of 22 hospital based consultants.

The post holder will be one of 15 general paediatricians based in Peterborough and will support general paediatric and epilepsy service in the Peterborough region of our Trust.

The paediatric consultants in Peterborough currently do a 1:12 general paediatric consultant rota and cover both general paediatrics and neonatology out of hours. The expectation is that the general paediatric and neonatal rotas will be split in the near future.

The post will attract 10 PA’s on the new contract.

The department in PCH is housed within a flagship PFI hospital with state-of-the-art facilities.

The paediatric and neonatal units are located together in the Women and Children’s wing of the hospital. We believe this integration is benefitting the paediatric department and we continue to increase cross-site working in the non-acute aspects of paediatric and neonatal care.

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust provides acute care to our local communities via two District General Hospitals in Peterborough and Huntingdon, and a community hospital in Stamford.

We are promoting flexible working and a health work/home life balance. Agile working options are automatically considered for all roles within the Trust.

Your package with us includes a lot more than just your pay and here are a few of the additional benefits that are available to you as an employee:

- Relocation allowance in line with the Trust policy

The local service is supported by the tertiary epilepsy service based in Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge and there are eight annual outreach clinics in Peterborough. The local epilepsy service meets the standards to attract the epilepsy best practice tariff and is part of the East of England Paediatric Epilepsy Network (EPEN) which meets on a regular four monthly basis and is a platform for peer review, governance, and continuing professional development. The post-holder will also be supported to develop other interests within their role.

There are approximately 400 paediatric epilepsy patients in Peterborough and 200 in Huntingdon.
