By joining us you can play a role in shaping a new organisation that continues to put patient care first. Whatever the challenges ahead we’re prepared to face them as one team. This is your chance to join a team dedicated to the highest standards of patient care, at a Trust that continues to offer fulfilling careers and enviable development potential.

The post holder will be responsible for the day to day management of patients under the supervision of a consultant paediatrician. Clinical responsibilities will include:

• Neonatal Unit/Children’s Ward- ward rounds, discharge planning, acute admissions and general paediatric work.
• Responsibility, in rotation with others, for the Neonatal unit, Ambulatory unit or Children’s Ward, alternating with the other middle grade doctors.
• Seeing Children on request in the A&E department.
• Regular attendance and active participation in outpatient clinics. It may be appropriate to develop a special interest within general duties/outpatient work.
• Participation in overall supervision and education of junior doctors and medical students.
• Taking an active part in the department’s education programme.

Our people are our greatest asset. When we feel supported and happy at work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for, the patients. Engaged employees perform at their best and our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives contribute to cultivate a culture of engagement. We have four staff networks, a corporate EDI Team and a suite of programmes and events which aim to insert the 5 aspirations:
Improving representation at senior levels of staff with disabilities, from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities background, identify as LGBTQ+ and women, through improved recruitment and leadership development
Widening access (anchor institution) and employability
Improving the experience of staff with disability
Improving the EDI literacy and confidence of trust staff through training and development
Making equalities mainstream
The Trust has recently restructured in to a new Divisional structure. The Division for Women, Children and Sexual Health currently has seven Clinical Directorates. The merger of Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich took place in 2013. Lewisham Community Health Services merged with University Hospital Lewisham in April 2010. The Women, Children and Sexual Health ’s Division is headed by a triumvirate of Divisional Medical Director, Divisonal Director of Nursing/Midwifery and Divisional Director of Operations. Each directorate is led by a Clinical Director, often supported by senior nursing/midwifery leads and a Service Manager
