Specialty Doctor Paediatric

Job summary

Speciality Doctor Paediatric

We are seeking a permanent Specialty Paediatrician. This position offers valuable experience in General Paediatrics, and we are highly committed to supporting the career growth of successful candidates. We have a strong record of helping doctors enter the Deanery paediatric training scheme and offering pathways to specialty registration through the CESR process. While prior experience at the second on-call tier is beneficial, it is not mandatory. If this is the candidate’s first middle-grade role, we will provide on-call support.

Main duties of the job

We are seeking a motivated middle-grade doctor to join our expanding paediatric team. This role covers all aspects of acute inpatient care for children, including attending high-risk deliveries, emergency assessments, and S47 medicals with consultant supervision. There are opportunities to attend outpatient clinics, participate in audit/research, and develop personal areas of interest.

The rota offers a mix of standard days, long days, and nights, with consultant support through a “hot week” system and robust out-of-hours coverage. We also provide pathways for training progression, including “run-through” training.
