Job description

The holder of this post will be a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine.

Candidates with a dual-CCT will be considered. A partner specialty can be accommodated, with a split of workload between each department by negotiation. Current dual-trained consultants deliver approximately 60% of their DCC within ICU.

The post will be based at the RUH, and the holder will participate in audit and directorate meetings and undertake administrative duties as required by the Clinical Lead for Intensive Care.

A commitment to maintain professional expertise by attendance at meetings and courses is expected, and completion of diaries for continuing medical education is essential. It is mandatory that you have an annual appraisal and have a yearly pay progression meeting with the Clinical Lead.

The post holder will be expected to work with local managers, professional colleagues and allied medical professionals to ensure the safe and efficient running of services.

Consultants are required to undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of patients and the running of clinical areas where they work.

The Department of Anaesthesia, ICM and Chronic Pain remains cohesive and focused on joint objectives, as well as being involved in numerous areas of work across the Trust. Candidates with an ability to continue this cross-specialty working and collaboration will be highly valued.

We are looking for a high calibre committed candidate of proven ability who will be able to contribute fully to both clinical and managerial roles within the department. The candidate should bring skills or knowledge that will enhance and expand the services already provided. An ability to embrace change and to develop services for more effective care delivery will be considered an asset.

We are proud to be part of BSW Hospitals Group - a formal partnership between the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust. With a combined workforce of over 17, 600 colleagues, and budget of 1.6 billion the Group is united by a common purpose to deliver the best possible care to over 1 million people.

We are creating a health and care system that works with the people we care for, reducing the differences people currently face in access, experience and outcomes, improving the experience of our colleagues and tackling shared challenges like sustainability and finances. Every improvement we make across our Group will be guided by what creates the greatest benefit for our colleagues, our patients, our communities and our partners.

By working together, we make a real difference for our patients, each other, and our community. Every role matters in delivering the exceptional, person-centred care we're proud of.

We're committed to a compassionate, inclusive culture where kindness is championed, differences are valued, and diversity makes us stronger.

We want to support you to thrive, taking your career to its full potential. We prioritise staff wellbeing - and yes, we even have a pool!
