Consultant Physician - Rheumatology/General Internal Medicine

at  Stockport NHS Foundation Trust

Rheumatology/General Internal Medicine Consultant Post
We are looking for 2 enthusiastic and talented consultants to join our team to develop and deliver excellent care to our local population.
We encourage prospective consultants to develop their own areas of specialist interest to align with the vision for our organization.
These are substantive consultant posts, which will be based at Stepping hill Hospital and also work in the community helping to support the management of frail patients in their usual place of living.
Those candidates who wish to work flexibly are strongly encouraged to apply.
The post holders will be supported and responsible for supervision of junior/middle grade medical staff. The successful post holder will be supported to undertake formal training in educational supervision.
The post holders will build on the existing good relationships with primary and community care services so that frail, older people have risk factors identified and can be signposted to services that will support them; to maintain their independence as close to home as possible and reduce the incidence of further crisis.
This may include co-ordination of specialist multi-disciplinary meetings which include primary and community care services to ensure that patients have robust care plans which help them to stay healthy at home for as long as possible.
We hold a unique position in the Stockport community as the provider of healthcare and we are one of its largest employers.
We believe that the best organisations are those that reflect the communities they serve. We are therefore seeking to improve the diversity of our workforce to make it truly representative of our local population.
We actively encourage applications irrespective of race, age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage & civil partnership, or pregnancy or maternity. Recognising those communities that are underrepresented within our workforce, we would particularly welcome applications from you.
If you require support with your application please contact a member of the recruitment team, who can discuss alternative application methods.
We recognise that flexible working is important. We take requests for flexible working seriously, consider any request we receive and try to work with you, so we can explore if your request may fit with the needs of the service.
