Job Overview
We are looking for a Clinical Fellow to come and work with us for a period of 12 months with further extension where appropriate.
These are temporary fixed term posts to support the junior 1 in 11 rota (previously known as SHO tier) and the successful applicants will work in a busy acute paediatric unit and level 1 neonatal unit. Currently we have 11 junior tier doctors including 3 GPSTs, 1FP2, 7 Junior Clinical Fellows.
The current applicable pay scales are displayed above; however, these may change upon implementation of the framework agreement for reform to the terms and conditions of service for resident doctors and dentists in Wales.

Main duties of the job
We are happy to welcome doctors who wish to just have a taster of general paediatrics prior to doing something else, or those committed to a career in the specialty. The clinical fellow post is not an approved training post. However, we strive to provide the successful applicant with the same training and educational experience as the trainees. Our Paediatric (Dewi) Ward has recently been on Welsh TV featuring in a popular series called Ward Y Plant.
We expect all our doctors to actively engage in departmental educational activities and undertake audits during their time with us.
We are located on the doorstep of the magnificent Snowdonia National Park and the Menai Straits. We're only three hours from London by train, or an hour from Chester/M6 by car.
If you are interested give us a call for a chat or to arrange a visit to the department.
