Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

Barts Health supports the Pregnancy Loss Pledge and commits to supporting their staff through the distress of miscarriage.

Job overview

Consultant Paediatric with an interest in Paediatric Urology

The post-holder should be a Paediatric Surgeon with a CCT or within 3 months of completion of CCT. A fellowship in Paediatric Urology or at least one year of experience in the subspeciality is desirable. The role requires the ability to manage an acute neonatal and general paediatric surgical take, including a substantial quantity of paediatric trauma. The Post holder will be expected to support and develop the service which consists of neonatal surgery, acute paediatric surgery, and specialised paediatric urological surgery.

 

The postholder will join a team of 6 Paediatric surgeons based at the Royal London hospital, of which 2 have an interest in Paediatric Urology, covering outreach work.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for the best talent to lead our ambitious new healthcare organisation. In return, the Barts Health will provide unsurpassed professional development opportunities, enabling investment in a range of new initiatives that would mean:

  • doctors and nurses in training will be able to gain experience in different hospitals along the whole patient pathway
  • there would be greater opportunity for career progression – we could retain good staff who might otherwise leave to gain promotion
  • becoming world-class will enable us to recruit some of the best doctors and researchers in the world – who can share their knowledge and experience
  • joining forces with other partners in an Academic Health Science System will mean that staff would be better able to secure funds and pool their talents to develop new technology, techniques and treatments.
