Description

Applications are invited for the post of Registrar (ST3+) in Paediatrics. The successful applicant will work on a shift system but have a nominated consultant.

Wherever possible the timetable aims to provide continuity of Registrar medical staff, although there may be occasions where the On-Take commitment and the junior doctor's requirement may lead to alternative arrangements͘.

The paediatric department provides a comprehensive range of paediatric and neonatal services for the district. The maternity unit, general paediatric wards and neonatal intensive care unit are all based at the Basildon Hospital site. The Outpatients clinics are also done at Orsett Hospital.

It's geographical position and the strength and commitment of its consultant establishment gives it excellent prospects for further expansion in the region.

Situated in the South East of England, Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is ideally placed offering easy access to the Channel Tunnel, London and the national motorway network via the M25.

Including this post, there are 10 hospital-based Paediatricians. Many patients have shared care, particularly those with special needs or child protection issues.

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest trusts in the country, serving a population of 1.2 million people.

Our newly formed Trust, comprising acute hospital sites at Broomfield in Chelmsford, Basildon and Southend, is determined to provide the best health services for its local population.

We are a well-led, high-performing and innovative organisation working in the best interests of the people we serve.

With a workforce of approximately 15,000 staff, we can now do more and go further in delivering health services to our local communities.

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
