Consultant Neurologist

at  Croydon Health Services NHS Trust

We are looking for an enthusiastic Neurology Consultant to work at Croydon University Hospital with close liaison at St Georges’ Hospital. We would like to continue to provide and develop the ability of the department to respond to operational pressures together with contributing to effective clinical governance and longer-term service strategies.
The remit of the postholder will be to work within the multi–disciplinary team providing and further developing the comprehensive acute neurology service. In addition, the individual will be required to play an active role in the general workload of the department.
It is envisaged that the appointee will contribute to the development and delivery of inpatient, outpatient and emergency work (ward / A&E referrals).
This is a full-time new post consisting of 10 programmed activities – 10PAs at CUH. The locum consultant would be involved in the development of the acute service for patients and any subspecialty interest would be considered but epilepsy subspecialism would be particularly helpful. CUH are particularly interested in expanding the neuro-rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular and functional neurological disorder services, but all subspecialist interests could be considered.
There is a longstanding link between Croydon University Hospital and the tertiary centre at St George’s Hospital, which is essential for continuing medical education, governance, and reaccreditation.
Croydon is a busy, exciting and diverse place to work. The borough has one of the youngest populations in London and continues to grow. Croydon Health Services cares for local people at Croydon University Hospital, Purley Memorial Hospital and in clinics and people’s homes all across the borough.
We are a very close-knit and friendly organisation where everyone of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset and so through Listening into Action – our way of engaging staff - we empower everyone at any level to initiate and bring about real improvements in our care.
As a Trust, we are striving to be at the forefront for how the NHS is trying change and working in partnership with others to join up services for everyone, from the very young to the elderly.
We offer many flexible and part-time working opportunities and all of our employees can enjoy a range of staff benefits, including parking, a gym, an active health and wellbeing programme, an on-site nursery and a cycle to work scheme. We value diversity and promote equality of opportunity.
