Job summary

We are seeking a Trust Doctor Registrar (ST4+) to cover middle-grade staffing gaps due to maternity leave. This full-time role includes resident on-call and separate neonatal cover. Responsibilities involve managing the Childrens Assessment Unit, participating in ward rounds, and providing in-patient ward cover. Supervision of junior colleagues is expected, with close collaboration with Consultants who provide a consultant of the week service.

Occasional Child Protection cases may arise out of hours, requiring adherence to local guidelines.
