The post is aimed at junior grade CT/ST 1-2 level (ie 2 to 3 years post qualification level) and whilst not an approved training posts we would endeavor to provide training opportunities. The Junior Specialist Doctor - Lower - Dermatology post will allow you to consolidate your experience in a supportive Dermatology environment, giving you wide ranging clinical exposure in a progressive Trust that has won numerous national and local awards. We would be keen to work with successful applicants and help you continue to build your Dermatology Career. We envisage that the JSD post would act as a stepping stone into specialty training as you continue to pursue membership exams.
The successful candidates must have considerable experience - post qualification, full GMC Registration with a license to practice. Considerable hospital experience at Resident Doctor level or equivalent in dermatology is essential. Knowledge of the workings of the NHS is essential.
The post will include outpatient clinics at the Skin Centre along with weekly in-hours on-call duties. Attendance and presentation at board round, skin cancer MDT, Biologics MDT, and CPC is also required.
Duties of the job will include:
1. To collaborate and work to maintain Dermatology services in line with strategic requirements.
2. To provide, with the other doctors in the dermatology department, routine and emergency Dermatology services to the Trust, operating a system of mutual out-of-hours cover, and cover for annual, study and professional leave.
3. Prompt assessment of patients referred for admission from Emergency Department and general practitioners.
4. Attendance at regular ward/board rounds and multi-disciplinary case conferences with the Consultant and Specialty Trainees.

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and hardworking doctor to join our Dermatology Department as Junior Specialist doctors at the Birmingham Skin Centre, City Hospital Campus. The post will be for 12 months fixed term starting as soon as possible.
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB) serves Birmingham and the Black Country - one of the country's most culturally diverse areas. It's a friendly and welcoming place - a place where you can belong, and a place where you can grow.
We care for our patients, we care about our population, and we care about our people.
Our values - Ambition, Respect, and Compassion - are at the heart of who we are. They guide us every step of the way; how we work with each other, and how we look after our patients and their families; how we respect and value the rich diversity of our team and our community.
Our Trust has always aspired to be more than a hospital, more than a healthcare provider. Our purpose is to "Improve the Life Chances and Health Outcomes of our Population." It is what inspires, drives, and unites us every day. It's what makes us unique.
We want working at SWB to feel like more than just a job. We want our Trust to be a place where you can feel you belong. A place where you feel happy, safe, and rewarded. A place where you can develop your career in whatever way you choose. When we say we're 'with you all the way' we want you to know that we mean it. Visit the SWB website to find out more about our ambitions and people plans.
The Birmingham Skin Centre is based on the 3rd floor of the Sheldon block at the City Health Campus site of the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB). The Trust is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), has now opened and will provide care to our local population from first-class, purpose-built premises. Our new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
Multi-site working
The four partner Trusts of the Black Country Provider Collaborative (Dudley Group NHS FT, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust) are actively working in partnership to deliver a collective vision focused on providing "better, faster and safer care to the population of the Black Country and beyond".
To support this vision, we are (where appropriate and safe to do so) actively looking at new models of care which:
* Better protect elective / planned care service delivery across the system by organising on a 'hot and cold' arrangement
* Consider the optimal use of resources through consolidation and specialisation, and
* Seek to reduce unwarranted variance, level up / standardise care through a 'Networked Service Solution' approach across the four sites
Against this context, although this post is hosted by Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, there may be an expectation to work flexibly across the four partner Trusts to better meet patient and service needs.
As a major employer in the Black Country and West Birmingham region, we are committed to supporting all employees to achieve a healthy work-life balance. We want the Black Country and West Birmingham region to be the best place to work and as such will consider all requests to work flexibly taking into account personal and individual circumstances alongside the needs of the service. We encourage all prospective applicants to discuss their individual circumstances with the Recruiting Manager as part of the onboarding process.
