We are looking for a dynamic Doctor who has experience in a variety of Emergency Departments within the NHS.

Rotherham offers the best of three worlds. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers affordable housing in both urban and rural areas. It is also a 20 minute drive or 30-40 minute cycle from the bright city Lights of Sheffield (9 miles from the hospital to the city centre) where you will find many of your potential colleagues. South Yorkshire has everything you could wish from modern urban living: renowned cultural venues including the Lyceum and Crucible theatres as well as the Utilita Arena, world class sports facilities, some of the best bars and breweries in the country and a thriving independent food scene.

It has good motorway links through the M1 and M18 to Leeds and nearby airports and is a short drive away from the stunning peak district national park giving easy access to some of the best climbing, hiking and road/mountain/gravel biking in the UK.

The role is to work at Tier 4 level, including overnight as Clinician in Charge of the Emergency Department between 0000 and 0800 with a consultant on call. The rota is self-rostered 1 in 3.25 weekends. If successful candidates desire to work towards CESR with rotations to other specialties within the Trust this will be considered. We have 17 enthusiastic consultants keen to provide shop floor teaching and long term Educational Supervision as you continue to develop.

Our team of clinicians includes an F2, GPSTR's, ACCS CT1s, EM STR's, CESR Doctors and a fantastic cohort of ENPs and ACPs. We also have a Consultant dedicated to Medical Education who provides bookable time for supervision and guidance on and off the shop floor to really take your skills to the next level.
