Main duties of the job

At BHRUT, you'll work in a supportive environment that values innovation, continuous learning, and multidisciplinary collaboration. With access to state-of-the-art laboratories, and opportunities to lead service development, this is the perfect role for a clinical fellow who wants to develop their careers in infection. Whether you're looking to make a difference or drive clinical excellence, we offer the platform and support to help you thrive.

A successful applicant will join our team of 5 friendly, highly motivated, clinically orientated Microbiology colleagues and one part-time specialty doctor in our well-established multidisciplinary department. This is an existing post .

Consultant offices are based on site at Queen's Hospital but clinical responsibilities mean rotating through both acute sites of Queen's Hospital and King George Hospital where we have on-site laboratories and appointees will be expected to take an active interest in these facilities.

We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.

We're proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We're also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The majority of our 8,400 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
