We are looking to appoint a new colleague to the Geriatric Medicine Department at University Hospitals Dorset, comprising of Poole Hospital, Bournemouth Hospital, and Christchurch Hospital.
This is a permanent post for a full-time Consultant Geriatrician, though applicants wishing to work flexibly or part-time will be considered. Sub-specialty interests are encouraged.
The main purpose of the post is to support the provision of high-quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement. A variety of roles are available depending on the individual's interests, with some examples provided for guidance. We aim to recruit the right candidate and will work to create a job plan that suits both the candidate and the needs of our patients.
The successful candidate will have completed specialist training in Geriatrics and is expected to have or develop a subspecialist interest, which could include but is not limited to:
* Interface and community geriatrics
* Orthogeriatrics and surgical liaison
* Movement disorders
We seek a candidate who is flexible, enthusiastic, self-motivated, and capable of developing as a leader to enhance service delivery within our evolving organization. Research, higher degrees, and overseas experience are not essential but will be regarded favorably.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD, underpinning all our actions and interactions with patients, visitors, and colleagues.
UHD is investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed following the merger and the New Hospital Programme. Some services may move sites this year or next, either temporarily or long-term. Interviewing managers will be happy to answer any questions regarding this during the interview.
There is a planned move for this service anticipated during Spring 2026, relocating the role and base of work to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital site. Post-relocation, excess mileage allowance/reimbursement will not apply, and travel between the postholder’s home and work will be considered a commute. Any other changes will be handled according to Trust and national terms and conditions.
We reserve the right to close this advertisement early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
For more details about the role, please read the full job description and person specification attached to this advert.
Essential requirements include:
* Eligibility or valid/relevant GMC registration
* Completion of specialty training
* Evidence of completed training certificate for Geriatric Medicine
This advert closes on Thursday, 21 August 2025.
