Consultant General Paediatrician
The closing date is 17 June 2026.
The successful candidate will join a dedicated consultant team who provide general and specialist paediatric services to the population of Portsmouth and South East Hampshire. The post will be based at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. The remit of the post holder is to provide general paediatric services. The job plan will be based on 10 programmed activities and will include participation in the general paediatric on‑call rota.
Main duties of the job
Successful candidates will join a motivated and supportive team of consultants who work a six‑week cycle of hot weeks to provide consistent delivery of acute paediatric services and cover for the inpatient wards. Out‑patient services and on‑call cover for the Children’s Assessment unit (CAU) and Children’s Emergency Department (CED) are also incorporated. Resident evening working is part of job plans whilst overnight on‑call is non‑resident. The department has responsibility for all children admitted to the Trust and so, when on call, the general paediatricians may be required to see children in CED, on the children’s surgical ward, or on ITU. Occasional safeguarding work may arise out of hours, and the post holder will be expected to follow local guidelines.
