Specialty Doctor - Emergency Department

Job overview

We have Specialty Doctor vacancies across Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals at both Scunthorpe General Hospital and Diana Princess of Wales Hospital. Fixed Term and Permanent positions are available.

The Trust has recognised the need to provide extended hours of both Specialty Doctor and Consultant shop‑floor cover at evening and weekends in order improve the quality and safety of unscheduled care to patients and has approved Urgent and Emergency Care expansion programme.

There are a number of posts available at both hospital sites, Scunthorpe & Grimsby on permanent and fixed term contracts. The post could be filled on a full or part time basis. Any candidate who is unable, for personal reasons, to work full time will still be considered for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on an individual basis.

Job share applicants are also welcome.

Our existing Emergency Department has benefited from extensive capital investment and is at the forefront of developing new ways of working. With the benefit of a very supportive managerial team who are keen to develop clinical ideas, there exists a very good working relationship between our two sites and we are constantly generating and developing ideas to bring our departments into the forefront of Emergency Care in the country.

This post attracts 11.23 programmed activities per week as part of the Middle Grade rota.

Regular job planning meetings will be undertaken with the post holder to ensure that the appointee is remunerated for any additional activities undertaken and that the job plan accurately reflects the overall workload undertaken by the post holder.

The supporting professional activities (SPAs) allocation within the provisional job plan is an illustrative guide and will be finalised following individual agreement with successful candidates. Further discussion on supporting professional activities will depend on the Trust’s requirements and the individual’s particular expertise.

In line with the terms and conditions, the final job plan is subject to the agreement of the Trust through the Medical Director and the appointee.

The new appointee will be based on either site.
