Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity to join our friendly and hardworking team of paediatric orthopaedic surgeons. This post represents, initially, full time locum cover; but it has the potential to become substantive as an expansion of the paediatric orthopaedic team to meet increasing demand. You will be joining a group of four established Paediatric Orthopaedic Consultants.
UHNM Children's Hospital provides secondary level paediatric orthopaedic services to the children and young people of North Midlands, and tertiary care to those in the wider region and beyond.

Main duties of the job
We are seeking fellowship trained candidates well versed in the generality of Paediatric Orthopaedics and Paediatric Orthopaedic Trauma. The post holder will also be expected to contribute to a 1:10 major trauma on call rota.
The Directorate works closely with the prestigious Keele Medical School and there will be an opportunity for the post holder to contribute to medical student teaching. We also have a vast network of allied health professionals.
The post holder will be expected to take an appropriate share in the management and administrative workload of the Department. All Consultants are involved in planning and developing the service.
