Position Overview

University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust is pleased to present an exceptional opportunity for a newly established Acute Care Paediatric Consultant role. This position is integral to our dedicated team at Furness General Hospital, a facility situated near the scenic Lake District, recognized as England's largest National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We are in search of enthusiastic, driven, and forward-thinking professionals who are eager to contribute to our expanding team of consultant paediatricians. In this role, you will be pivotal in providing healthcare services for Children and Young People throughout the Morecambe Bay region, with the capacity to operate autonomously while being part of a supportive and innovative team.

We welcome candidates with special interests that align with our department's needs. Particularly, we are keen on applicants with expertise in Respiratory Paediatrics or Neurology, but we are also open to supporting the pursuit of a SPIN module in other specialties as necessary. Additionally, we encourage candidates interested in developing new special interests in these areas.

Key Responsibilities

Furness General Hospital offers a 1:7 on-call arrangement for acute paediatric services, including the Special Care Baby Unit, where we implement a consultant of the week model.

This role is suitable for individuals seeking either full-time or part-time positions within an organization that values a healthy work-life balance. The stunning landscapes and charming villages of this region provide an excellent backdrop for both work and leisure, allowing you to explore the outdoors or enjoy a tranquil lifestyle.

About Our Organization

Our operations span three primary hospitals: Furness General Hospital (FGH), Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH), along with several community health care facilities.

FGH and RLI are equipped with a variety of General Hospital services, including full Emergency Departments, Critical Care units, and numerous Consultant-led services.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment by promoting diversity and equality, actively working to eliminate discrimination, reduce health disparities, and uphold equal opportunities for all staff and patients.

Our initiatives focus on enhancing the health and well-being of our workforce, improving their work quality, and recognizing their contributions to high-quality patient care. Our Flourish at Work program is a significant aspect of this commitment.

This position is appealing to those interested in either full-time or part-time roles within an organization that prioritizes a healthy work-life balance.

The successful candidate may qualify for relocation assistance and other related expenses for those who may need to move to accept employment with the Trust.
