Job overview

East Cheshire NHS Trust is looking to recruit Bank Doctors in General Medicine at ST3+ level to enhance our already successful Medical Staff Bank.

Applications are welcomed from doctors to work on an ad-hoc basis to help provide consistent, high level patient care and to assist with the continuity of care that the Trust provides.

As this is ‘Bank’ work, it is on an ‘as and when’ basis with no guaranteed hours, however it does offer doctors increased flexibility by selecting shifts to work around your lifestyle.

Please note, you must have a minimum of 6 months NHS/UK experience in order to proceed with joining our Bank.

Due to the terms of a Bank contract, we are unable to meet the UKVI Skilled Worked criteria and therefore unable to provide sponsorship for Visa purposes

Bank rates are subject to change (hourly rate inclusive of 12.5% annual leave payment)

We are looking to recruit doctors at ST3+ grade for work ranging from a single shift to an extended post, with evening, weekend and on-call shifts available.

• To liaise between nurses, other clinicians, patients, relatives in order to support safe
  care
• To attend and participate in board rounds, ward rounds and other related daily unit
  activities
• To provide appropriate workplace supervision to other staff as and when needed as
  requested
• To maintain high standards of professionalism, especially in relation to documentation

• To co-operate with the workforce deployment team in relation to administration of the
  shift
• To attend local induction as appropriate when working in new areas
