Job summary

Applications are invited for a (10PA) Consultant in Medicine for the Elderly at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our clinical team and participate in the development of clinical services for older adults in Cambridgeshire.

This is an exciting time for the Department of Medicine for the Elderly. We are in the process of expanding our department, and are particularly interested in developing innovative processes of care for our patient population.

We currently provide specialist care on a 'Core' Medicine for the Elderly ward, Frailty Front Door service, outpatients and specialty referrals. This post will enable the service to increase its community provision with the establishment of rapid access clinics and care-home interface work. There will be the opportunity to participate in these and/or develop other areas of sub-specialty interest on agreement with the Clinical Lead.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will be able to join a waiting list to participate in the General Medicine (GIM) on-call rota if desired.

You will be fully registered with the GMC and ideally have a CCT in Geriatric and General (Internal) Medicine or be within six months of award of CCT at the time of interview. Applications are welcomed from those unable to work full time for personal reasons or those wishing to job-share.

As part of our commitment to supporting the medical workforce in the part they play in delivering an excellent caring service to patients, all newly appointed Consultants attend our five-day Consultant Development programme within a year of joining the Trust. Leadership is a key requirement of doctors' professional work and this innovative programme is designed to support Consultants to hone the leadership and management skills they need to succeed at CUH.

About us

Non-UK applicants must possess the IELTS/OET exam before obtaining a GMC licence to practice.

Applications from job seekers who require skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. For further information please visit the UK Visas and Immigration website.
