Job Plan Overview
A formal job plan will be agreed between the successful candidate and their Clinical Director and consultant colleagues on behalf of the Medical Director within 3 months of starting in post. A full‑time job plan is based on a 10‑PA working week, reviewed annually, and provides a prospective agreement that sets out the consultant's duties, responsibilities and objectives for the coming year, covering clinical work, teaching, research, education and managerial responsibilities.
* 7.5 Programmed Activities (PAs) of Direct Clinical Care – includes clinical activity, clinically related activity and predictable and unpredictable emergency work.
* 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs) – includes CPD, audit, teaching and research.
Allocation of PAs is reviewed and may be subject to adjustment when a further diary exercise is undertaken or if the service demands a review of the team job plan. Any applicant who is unable, for personal reasons, to work full‑time will be considered for the post; modifications will be discussed on a personal basis with the Trust and other consultant colleagues. Any additional hours may be compensated with TOIL if requested.
