    Description

    Job summary

    There is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Community Consultant in the Families and Integrated Community Care.

    This newly created up to 10 PA post is to support Community Paediatrics in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast, along with supporting the recently developed neurodevelopmental pathway as the team continues to ensure the delivery of high-quality regional level. The candidate will work closely with our amazing team at Blanheim Child Development Centre.

    There is the chance to develop an interest area to complement the community team. Additionally, the team are able to help the post holder develop specific skills as needed such as ADOS-2 assessments. Applicants with varying experience can be accommodated and support offered to develop within the role, based on the candidate experience and so we would invite informal pre-application enquires as necessary.

    Our paediatric team has got a strong reputation of providing both undergraduate and postgraduate training. Our team hosts both MRCPCH and DCH examinations on yearly basis and you will be encouraged to develop as an examiner for Royal Colleges.

    There is a dedicated leadership training programme in the trust for development of new consultant with strong ethos around coaching and mentoring.

    Candidates must be fully registered with the GMC and be on the Specialist Register or be eligible for inclusion on the register within six months of the interview date for the post.

    Job Description awaiting Royal College approval

    Main duties of the job

    The successful candidate will be appointed as Consultant Community Paediatrician, joining our team of 15 WTE consultants delivering integrated paediatric care to Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre. Note within the Consultant body there are already 4 Community-Only Consultant Paediatricians and 3 Consultant Paediatricians that deliver both Acute and Community Paediatric care, in addition to 9 acute only consultants.

    The post advertised is a newly created role that backfills existing Community Consultant activity as the team has been re-organised to meet the requirements of the Neuro-developmental (ND) pathway. The postholder will therefore take part in the range of activities needed to serve a geographical catchment, allowing community-based building of strong inter-professional and organisational relationships. This will be very responsive to the imminent integrated care system. Our delivery of the Neuro-developmental pathway has been recognised by our partners and commissioners and this led to the creation of this role to continue the high quality multi-agency child focussed assessment and support work that it delivers.

    There is no on call component in this role, although there may be some responsibility for acute safeguarding assessments along with the wider team.

    There is a dedicated leadership training programme in the trust for development of new consultant with strong ethos around coaching and mentoring.
