Main duties of the job

We are seeking a Consultant in HIV and Sexual Health to join Spectrum Community Health CIC in Wigan and Leigh. This post will lead in conjunction with a clinical head of service, a multidisciplinary clinical team, consisting of both Band 7 and Band 6 dual trained clinical nurse specialists, working independently to Patient Group Directives, and a well-established team of clinical and administrative support. We have an innovative approach to clinical provision with a strong digital strategy which contributes to the flexibility of patient care but also work/life balance. You will be part of a wider sexual health team within Spectrum, which includes peer engagement from our Consultant Leads in Barnsley and Wakefield.

This post is based at our Wigan Clinic for the Sexual Health care (currently located in Leigh due to the refitting on new premises). The new service will remain in the very centre of town with good links to bus and train stations, which are only minutes' walk away from the service. There will continue to be a secondary level 2 provision to the population of Leigh. In addition to the new service estate, the service provision is looking for someone to lead innovation and system change, both internally and across the borough to the wider health provider network. Commissioners are keen to see transformational change in relation to sexual health provision and this post is a key stakeholder in that innovative change agenda.
