London, United Kingdom Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

We are looking for enthusiastic colleagues to join the critical care team at Charing Cross hospital.

You will work as part of the wider critical care directorate at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, which provides 94 Adult ICU beds across three hospitals. All units were rated "Good" by the CQC in 2019, and achieved very positive feedback in peer reviews in 2023.

Each unit admits both elective and emergency Level 2 & 3 patients, but has a distinct character. St Mary's is a quaternary vascular centre and Major Trauma Centre, Charing Cross is a regional stroke and neurosurgical centre, and Hammersmith is a regional centre for cardiac, renal and haematology. As a result, we care for a hugely varied clinical case mix and are pioneers in multi-disciplinary and collaborative care.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in the UK, we offer a wide range of opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. Academic clinicians are welcome and will be encouraged to become local principal investigators for multicentre studies in collaboration with our internationally acclaimed academic department led by Prof A Gordon.

Candidates will need a CCT in ICM (or to be approaching their CCT date), and we also welcome interest from individuals with joint accreditation in specialties such as anaesthesia, respiratory and

emergency medicine. We encourage you contact us prior to application to discuss how we can tailor a post to your interests and personal circumstances.

Main duties of the job

The posts will attract 10PAs including a minimum of 2SPAs, but we also welcome applications from individuals who wish to work less than full time. Our philosophy is to formulate an individualised job plan with successful candidates, with an emphasis on enabling professional development and pursuit of specific interests. We strongly believe that the job plan needs to be sustainable and should enable the successful candidate to maintain a good work-life balance.

Main duties contained within the job plan are assessing and managing critically unwell patients as part of the ICU MDT team. This will involve twice daily ward rounds as a minimum with targeted assessment and interventions as required. Outreach duties are also contained within the job plans and there are outreach clinics which can be job planned for interested candidates. SPA duties will vary but all consultants are expected to support and supervise trainees.

All appointments are to the Trust, but we will discuss with you through the application process any preferences you have about working at a particular site or sites, and mutually agree this with you at appointment. There may also be opportunities for consultants to move sites during their career if they wish to, in order to gain new clinical or leadership experience.

About us

At Imperial College Healthcare you can achieve extraordinary things with extraordinary people, working with leading clinicians pushing boundaries in patient care. Become part of a vibrant team living our values - expert, kind, collaborative and aspirational. You'll get an experience like no other and will fast forward your career. Benefits include career development, flexible working and wellbeing, staff recognition scheme. Make use of optional benefits including Cycle to work, car lease schemes, season ticket loan or membership options for onsite leisure facilities.

We encourage staff to have the Covid vaccination to protect themselves, patients, other colleagues as well as the wider community. Please note it is an operational requirement to comply with infection prevention and control procedures within the Trust such as lateral flow testing, handwashing and the wearing of masks, according to the procedures in place at any time or location.

As part of our continued response to Covid19 we are still conducting the majority of our interviews virtually.

We are committed to equal opportunities and improving the working lives of our staff and will consider applications to work flexibly, part-time or job share. Please talk to us at interview.
