Job overview
We are currently recruiting for TWO Clinical Fellow posts within the Sexual Health Service
Post 1:
Full time in the Sexual Health department of Homerton Healthcare NHS Trust, working across three clinical sites in Hackney. The Junior Clinical Fellow will work alongside other members of staff to deliver first class care to individuals presenting with STIs, HIV and other conditions and symptoms associated with sex, to make appropriate onward referrals and to review and manage abnormal results from clinic attendees (with support from senior members of staff as appropriate).
Post 2:
As above, but with rotation in approximately 5 week blocs to the acute care unit in the main hospital, managing a variety of acute clinical presentations, supported by a wider multi-disciplinary team and senior supervision.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work a 40-hour week at the Clifden Centre, The Ivy at St Leonard's Hospital and 80 Leadenhall Street.
There is no on-call commitment attached to this post; however, the post-holder will be required to do evening clinics and Saturdays on a rotational basis (with time back in lieu).
You will be expected to work alongside other healthcare professionals and local managers to ensure the efficient running of services.
Successful applicants will be assigned a clinical supervisor. Although the post is not educationally approved, the post-holder will have access to the same departmental educational sessions as their counterparts in approved training programmes.
