The Paediatric team at HHFT are looking to appoint a locum consultant paediatrician to support acute general paediatrics, neonatal care, and outpatients. We are a friendly, dynamic department and offer excellent clinical experience in a supported environment within a lovely part of the country. 

Currently we have a vacancy to cover sick leave for the next 6 months. This post will be based in RHCH, Winchester although we are one department across the two sites.

On calls at consultant level will involve covering the general paediatric ward and admissions, level 1 +neonatal unit, labour ward and transitional care. The post may also include a small number of resident night shifts. 
This post would suit a recently qualified consultant as a step up to consultant working in our supportive department. 

We operate a consultant of the week system, in addition to outpatients and a separate safeguarding session which is split equally amongst the team. There will be time within the individual’s job plan to pursue other specialist interests.
