Full Job Description
We are looking to appoint a dynamic forward-thinking Locum Consultant in Acute Medicine to join our current team at Eastbourne Hospital. This post will support our expanding Acute Medical Team on an AMU with 5 bays and 4 side rooms, and a purpose-built Same Day Emergency Care Unit with 8 trolleys, 4 beds and 2 dedicated treatment rooms.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an up to 12 month fixed term contract
Candidates with a background in Acute Medicine, or those dual trained in General Internal Medicine and a medical specialty would be welcome to apply. Specialty sessions are strongly encouraged and would be accommodated where possible. Our team is passionate about delivering safe, considerate care to a high standard. You will be working with an experienced team of nurses, advanced nurse practitioners and designated discharge support services.
We believe Acute Medicine is rewarding work that requires a balanced job plan allowing time for reflection and education, away from direct clinical care. This is essential for sustainability and to ensure we have the best diagnostic physicians working at the front door to ensure high quality patient care, junior doctor supervision and excellent service delivery. The successful applicant will have a role in teaching both under- and postgraduate students and will also support colleagues doing these activities as part of their agreed job plan.
A wide range of staff benefits are available to our staff including staff development, enrolment in the NHS pension scheme, auto-enrolment to our Temporary Workforce Service, access to nurseries at Conquest Hospital and Eastbourne District General Hospital, staff restaurants and on-site staff accommodation.
In addition to an internal Occupational Health department, all staff also have access to free psychological support through our confidential Employee Assistance Programme which is available to staff 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Onsite parking is available for a small administration fee.
There has never been a better time to join East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, submit your application today.
