Position Details
This post is for a Consultant Paediatrician position in the South West Essex Community Paediatric team. It is a newly created post following additional funding added to a previous part-time post and is based at the Integrated Child Health Service at Gifford House, Thurrock Community Hospital, Long Lane, Grays, RM16 2PX, where the post holder will work in an integrated multidisciplinary team.
A lot has already transformed and continues to take place in Essex's Community Children and Young People's Services. The post is currently vacant, and we wish to recruit to this post as soon as possible.
There is no on-call requirement at night; however, the post holder will participate in a daytime on-call rota 9am - 5pm to deliver child protection medical examinations.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will provide senior medical support to the team, direct input on clinical cases, and work closely with 0.8wte Consultant Paediatrician (Dr Kaushik Banerjee) and 1.8wte Specialist Grade Doctor (out to recruitment) in the Team. They will also provide guidance and supervision to the team, work directly with babies, children, and young people (and their families), and liaise with other external health providers and acute hospitals. Additionally, there will be opportunities to develop links with local acute trusts to continually improve services.
Team Environment
There are close links with the acute paediatric department at Basildon University Hospital. We have Core Paediatric Trainees from London and Eastern Deanery, with a joint training programme with BHRUT, Basildon, and Whipps Cross Hospital. Medical students are on placement from Cambridge and Barts and the London Medical Schools, including those on the innovative "Medicine in Society" module from QMUL.
