Job description

We have three questions for you:

1. Are you a dynamic, motivated doctor seeking experience of inner-city emergency medicine at ST1-2 level?
2. Can you demonstrate previous NHS and emergency medicine experience?
3. Do you want to join the ‘top trust to work at in England’ as rated in the NHS staff survey?

If you answered “yes” to all the above, then we want your contribution to our dedicated, friendly team. Come to UCLH and help us deliver excellent emergency care.

Position Details:
We are offering a fixed term appointment, starting in August 2025, initially for 12 months but with potential to extend. We know that doctors have lives outside of work, so we are positive about flexible and less than full-time working: talk to us if this is something you would like to consider.

Eligibility
You must have (essential):

• Eligible for full registration with the GMC;
• At least two years’ post-graduation clinical experience;
• At least three months’ experience in emergency medicine;
• Up-to-date certification in ALS or ACLS.

Candidates not fulfilling these essential criteria will not be shortlisted for interview.

You should preferably also have (desirable):

• MRCEM, MRCP, MRCS, MRCGP, or primary FRCA; or evidence of progression towards these;
• Experience in medicine, anaesthetics, paediatrics, surgery and/or orthopaedics;
• NHS hospital experience.

Role Structure:
The Junior Clinical Fellow tier has sixteen doctors who work on a rolling rota, split into 80% clinical ‘shop floor’ shifts and 20% non-clinical professional development days, averaging 42.7 hours per week. There are two weeks of night shifts in a 16 week rota cycle, split into three or four night blocks, and also seven weekends worked per 16 week cycle.

Professional development days can be used for teaching, audit, research, quality improvement work, exam revision, personal study, or any other appropriate activity agreed with your consultant supervisor. The department has a strong record in junior fellows submitting abstracts, posters and oral presentations to national and international conferences as a result of their quality improvement work.
