Consultant in Rheumatology
Consultant in Rheumatology
As University Hospitals Dorset we are a three site acute trust with ‘university hospital’ status through our partnership with Bournemouth University, working with an annual budget of £730m.
We offer highly regarded health services, employing some 10,000 staff. Our ambitious £250m estates programme is well on the way to delivering state-of-the-art facilities over the next two years to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the populations we serve.
In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with over seven miles of sandy beaches you’ll find inspirational opportunities to achieve your perfect work/life balance. With the New Forest and the Purbecks on our doorstep, we’re also less than three hours from London by road or train. The thriving towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch give way to idyllic villages and unspoilt landscapes just minutes from our hospitals.
We believe that having a diverse workforce, and allowing people to be themselves, is essential in ensuring we offer an inclusive, welcoming and productive place to work.
We especially welcome applications from minority groups in the community who may be underrepresented in our workforce.
At UHD our active staff network groups are the Women's Network, Black Asian Minority Ethnic Group (BAME), Pride Network, European (EU), Pro Ability Staff Network, and the Armed Forces Support Group.
As a Trust we are proudly signed up to the Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant guaranteed interview schemes.
Job overview
This is to recruit 2 full time Consultant Rheumatologists to join a Dorset-wide Rheumatology team. These posts will be based at Christchurch and Dorset County Hospital and the successful candidate will work in partnership with our substantive consultant team in Poole and Dorset County Hospitals. Together we deliver a full range of Rheumatology services to Dorset residents and parts of neighbouring counties from 3 well-resourced units at Christchurch Hospital, Poole Hospital and Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester.
The successful candidate will be joining a team of specialty consultants at a very exciting time as the Department expands following the merger of Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals (RBCH) and Poole Hospital (PGH) to become University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) and the extension of this to cover Dorset County Hospital.
Main duties of the job
The main purpose of the post is to support the provision of highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement. The Appointees will undertake clinics at Christchurch hospital and at Dorset county. This will also include acute ward management at Bournemouth Hospital.
Working for our organisation
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview.
