The Trust is committed to the long‑term development of a culture of continuous improvement as a way of working across all areas of the organisation to respond to changes in health care need and demand. The post holder will be expected to be flexible and open to changes, to identify opportunities for improvement and to play an active role in developing, implementing and sustaining improvements to working practices and patient services.

Applications are welcome from candidates who have completed the Foundation Programme (or equivalent) and are wishing to gain experience in General Medicine. This is a permanent role which will give you a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and time to plan your future career. The post holder will be based on one of a number of medical speciality wards and may rotate between these areas to meet the staffing needs of the service and to allow enhanced training opportunities.

Educational supervision: an educational supervisor will be assigned to you to provide support. Appraisal is carried out at regular intervals and forwarded to the specialty lead.

In the course of your work the job holder liaises with nursing, professional and technical, social work and administrative staff.

You will need to be flexible and up for a challenge, working within a fast‑paced environment, with likeminded people and having the benefit of being supported by a fabulous team. You may be redeployed to alternative medical wards at times of increased staffing pressure; this should be seen as an opportunity to gain different skills and valuable experience.
