County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is a leading integrated care provider in England, serving a population of approximately 600,000 people. We are currently seeking a Specialty Doctor to join our Emergency Department team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a medical professional to maintain and enhance their emergency medicine skills and experience. As a Specialty Doctor, you will be part of a vibrant and dedicated ED team, working on the shop floor.

Key Responsibilities:

About Us

We provide hospital services from two acute sites, with a centre for planned care and community-based settings. We welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as these groups are currently under-represented.

Please note that we are unable to offer sponsorship for healthcare roles that do not meet the minimum salary. If you are in the UK on a VISA, ensure you have no restrictions that would prevent you from taking this post.

As a Specialty Doctor, you will be responsible for the professional supervision and management of junior staff, ensuring standards of care are maintained on the shop floor. You will also participate in the teaching of medical staff and undergraduates, and contribute to clinical governance arrangements in line with national and local guidelines.

Person Specification

  • At least 2 years full-time (or equivalent part-time) of Emergency Medicine experience and competencies, either as a doctor in training or in the NHS or overseas.
