Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity available in one of the UK\'s most up and coming, vibrant cities.

NHS Tayside seeks to appoint two Paediatric Consultants with an interest in Community Paediatrics.
Following retirals and vacant sessions within the service, these posts have been created with a view to the continuing development and improvement of existing services, in particular our Care Experienced Children and Young People
and Neuro-developmental Service.
A special interest in Neuro-developmental assessment, Care Experienced Children and Young People service and/or Child Protection is expected.
NHS Tayside is supportive of continuous professional development, and all of our posts include 2 PAs for supporting professional activities (pro-rata).
Successful applicants are likely to be based in either Dundee or Angus for the majority of their time with the possibility of some sessions being worked in Perth.
Existing team members live across the area and a number work between localities.
You will be joining a supportive, forward thinking team with a broad range of experience and well-established links with the acute service and other agencies.
We have regular team meetings and joint training both within the wider CCH team and across specialties with our neonatal and general paediatric colleagues.
We welcome applications from doctors wishing to work less than full-time and those wishing to pursue further training to develop a specialist interest in line with service needs.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact us for an informal discussion.
