An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our well-established, inclusive multidisciplinary team, dedicated to caring for children and young people with a diverse range of endocrine disorders. We pride ourselves on being a supportive and collaborative team, committed to fostering professional growth through development and education opportunities.

We provide expert acute care to our local population, as well as to a wider region including Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Dorset, Frimley, and the Channel Islands. Our service also offers a range of highly specialised clinics, including disorders of sex development (DSD), bone disorders, genetics, late effects, and tertiary obesity services.

Our team currently comprises four consultants, 2.6 WTE specialist nurses, and a cohort of junior doctors in both general and specialty training. We work closely with a variety of specialty services to deliver high-quality care across inpatient, outpatient, and day-case settings. In addition, we play a key role within the regional Wessex Endocrine Network, providing expert advice, support, and education to patients and healthcare professionals across the region.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients. 

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
