Individual job plans will be discussed with the post holder on appointment, with the Clinical Director to finalise the job plan which will become operational on commencement. All jobs plans are agreed in line with the Trusts Job Planning Principles. As a department we are committed to supporting flexible job plans and will work with you to mutually agree your activity commitment. We have opportunities to explore teaching, research and quality improvement projects to enhance our service. We strive to support your leadership and development in role and would be keen to discuss development pathways and subspecialty interests; ensuring activity is allocated within your job plan to achieve this. Job plans will be reviewed at least annually, following an appraisal meeting. The job plan will be a prospective agreement that sets out a doctors typical working pattern, duties and responsibilities and objectives for the coming year. It will cover all aspects of a doctors professional practice including clinical work, teaching, research, education and managerial responsibilities and external commitments.
