Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Ageing Complex Medicine Team in a permanent Consultant Geriatrician post at Salford Royal. We are looking for a doctor who can provide expert geriatric care for older people in general and specialist medicine.
This is an exciting time to join the Division as you will be part of a hospital and medical department currently undergoing a period of innovation and development. The successful candidate will be joining our innovative team of 18 Consultant Geriatricians as part of the Ageing and Complex Medicine department.
The post is a substantive post and therefore essential criteria include Full GMC Registration with a CCT (or proposed date for CCT within 6 months of appointment) in Geriatric Medicine or GIM. We welcome less than full time applications and are willing to discuss flexible working arrangements. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a commitment to Geriatric Medicine.
Candidates with experience in Parkinson’s disease and Movement disorders would be particularly welcome to apply as we wish to develop this service.
