Job description

The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH) is inviting applications for a Consultant in Dermatology to join our dedicated and forward‑thinking team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated clinician to contribute to a growing service within a supportive environment. We welcome applications from candidates seeking full‑time or part‑time working arrangements. Those with relevant experience and leadership capabilities may also be considered for the role of Clinical Lead.

The closing date is 21 January 2026

The post holder will be responsible for providing a Dermatology service in conjunction with consultant colleagues. This is a permanent post, 1.0 WTE covering ten paediatric ambulatory appointments based at the James Paget University Hospital, covering five days per week Monday to Friday.

Main duties of the job

The appointee will help the department achieve the skin cancer waiting time targets and the 18‑week referral to treatment time targets and other targets as they become relevant. The appointee will have an opportunity to develop their own special interest and engage in research activities. The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals; however the appointee may be expected, as part of their duties, to undertake clinics in community hospitals or outreach clinics.

Any dermatology patient needing admission to hospital will be admitted to the general medical ward where they will be stabilised and referred to the dermatology team the following day for review.

The appointee will share with the other consultants the supervision of nurse‑led clinics in the departments. These include acne, leg ulcer, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, day treatment and surgery lists.

The appointee will be expected to attend the department's meetings, including the monthly Monday lunchtime departmental and consultant meeting, the monthly Clinical Governance meeting, the weekly Skin MDT meeting and fortnightly Wednesday afternoon educational joint clinics for complex cases.
