Bank Doctor

Job summary

Somerset NHS Foundation 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 following specialties to help provide consistent, high level patient care and to assist with the continuity of care that the Trust provides.

o Emergency Department

o Psychiatry (based at Yeovil District Hospital, Musgrove Park Hospital and/or Community)

o Medicine

o Paediatrics

o General Surgery

o Obstetrics & Gynaecology

o Orthopaedics

o Anaesthetics

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.

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.

o F1 up to £40.00 per hour

o F2 up to £45.00 per hour

o ST1/2 up to £50.00 per hour

o ST3+ up to £65.00 per hour

o Specialty Doctor up to £75.00 per hour (if working independently then the consultant rate may be appropriate)

o Associate Specialist up to £120.00 per hour (if working independently then the consultant rate may be appropriate)

o Consultant up to £150.00 per hour

Bank rates are subject to change.

Main duties of the job

We are looking to recruit suitably qualified doctors to work across all grades for work ranging from a single shift to an extended post, with evening, weekend and on-call shifts available. Full registration with the GMC is required, as well as having achieving the appropriate level of competencies to carry out the role you have been employed to do.

Doctors joining the Trust Medical Bank will be expected to complete pre-employment checks inclusive of GMC registration, satisfactory references, health clearance, enhanced DBS check identity and right to work checks.
