We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
Applications are welcome for the above fixed term (14), full and part time posts based in St John’s Hospital.
There are a number of full-time posts available to commence August 2026 for 6 - 12 months. Consideration will be given if there is a request for less than full time. Ninety percent of the working time will be spent as part of the Emergency Department’s multi-disciplinary team. You will be expected to assess and manage a broad range of adult and paediatric patients with the support of colleagues including emergency medicine trainees and consultants. The department receives around 130-180 patients per day.
Ten percent of the working time will be given to a specialist interest. Within each post study time can be given for any extra qualifications that are deemed appropriate for the post. Examples of previous specialist interests pursued by fellows are shown below. Note it is possible to tailor your development time in a bespoke way. Some special interest areas will only accommodate one person, awarded based on ranking at interview. However, there is scope for specialties such as paediatrics to accommodate more than one candidate. There will also be training in the department towards CV preparation and interview technique.
The post does not have educational approval from the Postgraduate Dean and will not be recognised for training.
