Job overview

East Cheshire NHS Trust is looking to recruit Bank Doctors to enhance our already successful Medical Staff Bank. Applications are welcomed from doctors to work on an ad-hoc basis in the paediatrics department to help provide consistent, high level patient care and to assist with the continuity of care that the Trust provides.

As this is ‘Bank’ work, it is on an ‘as and when’ basis with no guaranteed hours, however it does offer doctors increased flexibility by selecting shifts to work around their lifestyle.

Please note, you must have a minimum of 6 months NHS/UK experience in order to proceed with joining our Bank.

Candidates must have level one neonatal experience and previous paediatric experience.

Due to the terms of a Bank contract, we are unable to meet the UKVI Skilled Worked criteria and therefore unable to provide sponsorship for Visa purposes.

Bank rates are subject to change (hourly rate inclusive of 12.5% annual leave payment):
