Are you finishing your foundation training? Are you unsure which specialty you want to choose? Are you looking for an opportunity to try Emergency Medicine before applying for training?

Can we tempt you to join our amazing multidisciplinary team? Our Junior Clinical Fellow posts are an ideal opportunity to work in a supportive clinical environment with dedicated non-clinical time for portfolio development.

The posts will have dedicated non-clinical time (20% of rota time) to develop a portfolio of your choice, with ideas including:

1. Educational Fellow - 6 months (with an option to progress to SIM training)
2. Quality Improvement Fellow - 1 year
3. Ultrasound Fellow - 1 year (with a commitment to sign off Level 1 competence by the end)

Feedback from trainees has been extremely positive, including:

'I have felt fully supported and able to discuss any issues; I was fully aware of what was expected of me and felt well included in the ED team.'

'Sim teaching here has been so useful and always highly relevant, as well as engaging and interactive.'

English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidates will be part of a team of 13 junior doctors in a busy district general hospital Emergency Department (ED). You will work alongside nine middle grade doctors and eight consultants in a multidisciplinary team including ENPs and ACPs, providing front-line care to an undifferentiated case mix. The successful applicant will participate in a full shift rota providing 24-hour shop floor cover. The department provides a consultant-led service with ample opportunity for supervision.
