Overview
The work of the Department consists of trauma care for the patients arriving via the Accident and Emergency Department and provision of elective Orthopaedic care for the local residents. The Accident and Emergency Department is a very busy department run quite separately from the Orthopaedic Department by its Accident and Emergency Consultants. Each Orthopaedic Consultant has two elective clinics, a fracture clinic and 3 theatre sessions per week. The unit has approximately 50 beds, including children's beds for inpatient services. Previous experience within Trauma & Orthopaedic preferred.
Responsibilities
The post holder will predominately work on the ward providing support to the Consultants and junior grades, working to sustain the provision of an efficient Trauma and Orthopaedic service to patients, including ensuring, in conjunction with colleagues, the highest quality of care is provided to each individual patient who attends the specialty and support the Trauma and Orthopaedic Department in meeting and delivering its local and national targets.

We believe that the best organisations are those that reflect the communities they serve.

We actively encourage applications irrespective of race, age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage & civil partnership, or pregnancy or maternity.

We recognise that flexible working is important. We take requests for flexible working seriously, consider any request we receive and try to work with you, so we can explore if your request may fit with the needs of the service.
