Medical Examiners conduct a robust, transparent and independent scrutiny of the death certification processes. Applicants must be practising medical practitioners who have been on the general medical council register for a minimum of five years post registration.

The role will mainly be based at Ipswich Hospital but there may be some scope for cross site working with Colchester and remote working is a possibility when deaths from all non-acute settings are also included.

We have nearly 10,000 staff, with an annual budget of over £650 million. We are the largest NHS organisation in the East Anglia.

We are building for better care with an exciting capital development programme across our sites - totalling £100million over the next five years.

We are building a new elective orthopaedic centre for ESNEFT at Colchester Hospital. It will be one of the biggest centres in the country and will ensure we can retain complex and low volume cases locally for the people we serve.

We are also now building a £7million specialist interventional radiology and cardiac angiography unit at Colchester.

At Ipswich we are investing £35million in a new Emergency Department and co-located Urgent Treatment Centre, with additional diagnostic imaging kit (MRI and CT). There’s a £5.3million molecular diagnostic laboratory soon to open at Ipswich, and works begins soon for a new Breast Care Centre and a Children’s Unit.
