About the Role

Consultant in General Paediatrics & Neonatology
Full Time or Less Than Full Time (LTFT)
London NHS Trust


I’m delighted to be working with a Trust in London that is currently recruiting a Consultant in General Paediatrics and Neonatology.

The Role
Post holders will join the daytime general paediatric team, providing cover to the Emergency Department and ambulatory service. The role also includes:

  • Delivery of general paediatric outpatient clinics

  • Participation in paediatric subspecialty clinics, depending on individual interests

  • Support of the neonatal service, including attending weeks on the Level 1 neonatal unit

  • Participation in a 1:8 neonatal consultant on-call-from-home rota


Candidates must have Level 2/3 neonatal experience and be confident in managing neonatal emergencies.

There is:

  • A consultant resident on site 24 hours a day

  • An additional general paediatric consultant on call from home to support the paediatric service

  • Currently no resident night commitment (this is expected to change following future service reconfiguration, with the neonatal unit planned to close over the next few years)

Job Plan

  • 10 PA post (full time): 8 DCC + 2 SPA (pro rata for LTFT)

  • Annualised rota to support flexibility and promote a healthy work/life balance


Person Specification

  • Full registration with the General Medical Council (GMC) in Paediatrics

  • APLS/NLS provider status


Essential – Experience & Skills

  • Previous experience at Consultant level

  • Broad paediatric experience, including neonatology in a Level 2 or 3 centre at middle grade or above

  • Demonstrable understanding of the clinical and organisational environment

  • Competence in paediatric and neonatal procedures

  • Experience in children’s safeguarding
