Overview
The Community Paediatric Neurodevelopmental Service is seeking a part time Consultant Community Paediatrician. The ideal applicant will have experience of all aspects of community paediatrics including child development, ASD, ADHD, neuro disability, Children Looked After, children in need and children with special educational needs. You will have an ability to work independently, but within a supportive team. Multiagency and multidisciplinary working is expected and encouraged. An area of special interest to complement those already available in the Department would be welcomed and can be discussed. You will have ready access to senior opinion when required. Additional training will be made available for any areas a successful candidate has less experience of. Career progression will be supported and encouraged via a named supervisor, mentoring, annual appraisal and job planning. There are no on-call or acute responsibilities attached to this post. However, there are opportunities to interact with acute colleagues based at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, and with colleagues in South Cumbria, thus ensuring an integrated approach to child health. We have good links with our therapy colleagues, integrated children\'s community nursing team (via UHMB) and our colleagues in School nursing and Health visiting (via Virgin Care) and Education.
