This post is initially a fixed term for 12 months with a view to becoming permanent if mutually agreed after annual review.

Established speciality doctors looking to work in a high-performing, friendly and cohesive team
General Medicine trainees who feel a move to being a non-trainee would provide a better work-life balance with no more moving hospitals and the possibility to put down roots
The post is based in the Neurology Department at Airedale General Hospital.
The post holder/s will be responsible to the Neurology consultants and will be expected to:
Out-patient clinics (with supervision from consultants when need)
Ward referrals

In-patient reviews

The job plan is negotiable but it is proposed that for full time staff it will be 10 PAs with non- clinical time included in this.
This is a non-training post and therefore not approved by the Deanery. The post holder will, however, receive the same training and experience in line with existing trainee doctors.
