Dorset
£105,504 - £139,882
I am partnered with a university NHS trust situated along the beautiful south coast of the UK seeking a consultant radiologist with an interest in Paediatric radiology on a fixed term or substantive contract.
The University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is a recently formed institution and the CCG have confirmed that the main site will develop as the Major Acute Centre and the sister site becoming the Major Planned Care Centre for the east of the county. A recent structure forms part of the £250m transformation, including a bespoke and modern child health unit including a neonatal intensive care unit.
We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic consultant radiologist to work within the radiology directorate, part of the Specialities Care Group. The radiology department of the trust will have a combined radiologist workforce of 33 diagnostic radiologists, with a range of subspecialty interests, working in collaboration with a further 6 interventional radiologists. The size of the directorate facilitates the development of a degree of sub specialisation across the group. There are currently two full time consultant radiologists with an interest in paediatric radiology and one less than full time consultant radiologist with an interest in paediatric radiology.
The successful candidate would enjoy an extremely satisfying working relationship with the Consultants and staff of the Paediatric department who hold a great deal of professional respect for each other.
It would be preferable if the candidate has an interest in other areas of radiology and could contribute to the general on call rota, however, we would also welcome applications from paediatric radiologists; either those who are currently working in tertiary paediatric centres and may be looking for a change in pace, or those who have recently completed their training. If it was in line with the candidate’s wishes, a structured refresher program would be provided to expand into other areas of interest, or to resume general radiology practice. The candidate would not be required to do on-call or general radiology if this was not desired, or if not confident to do so. The idea would be to build the job plan around the skills and aspirations of the candidate.
