Job description

Overview

The Specialist is an established role in our department that supports experienced and motivated colleagues in working alongside consultant colleagues in a leadership role in HCOP. The post also aims to support colleagues in completing a CESR qualification for a future consultant post if they so wish. With this in mind, we are looking for high-performing individuals to join our existing team of HCOP Consultants at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. We are a team of nine HCOP Consultants who provide care for frail older patients in service areas which include Acute Geriatrics ward, OPAD, FSDEC and Orthogeriatrics.

Candidates are required to have MBBS or an equivalent primary medical qualification, have 12 years of clinical experience since their primary medical qualification and have 6 years of experience in Health Care of Older People at SAS level.

The successful candidate will join other consultants of the department and participate in covering medical wards and other clinical areas designated for HCOP. Opportunities for teaching are available in our clinical skills area. Other areas of special interest are encouraged. The standard job plan is 10PA but less-than-full-time working is welcomed. The breakdown of job plans will be agreed with the successful candidates, using a standardised tool to ensure parity between colleagues.
