An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant Medical Microbiologist to join our team at NHS Dumfries & Galloway. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and supportive team consisting of two other Consultants based at Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary, responsible for providing a Microbiology service and supporting the Infection Prevention and Control service. There are opportunities for a joint Microbiology/Infectious Diseases trained post holder to contribute to the Infectious Diseases service, including Infection ward based duties and Out-Patient Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) clinics.

The consultant job plan is flexible and open to negotiation on appointment. The job plan will be offered on a 10 PA contract (the balance between direct clinical care and supporting professional activities will be discussed and agreed between the Board and the successful applicant). The current Microbiology on call commitment is a 1 in 4 rota, carried out remotely with a home working package. Work can be undertaken from home and payment/time back is given for on-call duties.

NHS Dumfries and Galloway offer a full relocation package.

Applications from candidates looking to work less than full time are also welcome. There is flexibility around individual’s requirements and the requirements of family and partners.

Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit.
