Job description

Job responsibilities

Our aim is to play a key part in achieving Manx Care's vision of the Isle of Man becoming the best small Island based health and care system.

To help us achieve this vision, we are looking to appoint a knowledgeable, driven and forward-thinking Consultant Gastroentrologist to join our team at Noble’s Hospital on the Isle of Man!

About the role and our team

Noble’s Hospital is the Island’s only District General Hospital, situated on the outskirts of Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man. It is equipped to the very latest standards with a total complement of 271 beds.

You will be involved in delivering high quality medical care to our elderly population both in the community and in our hospitals. The post is based on the Leeds model of Interface Geriatrics, delivering multidisciplinary care in the community, as well as providing geriatrician input in the acute setting and intermediate care services.

Despite our small size, we provide most specialist medical services, delivered by our dedicated team. We are currently undergoing a significant medical services transformation programme, with front line acute medical care being delivered through a more generalised model rather than a specialised model, thereby ensuring all patients receive holistic medical care, where appropriate, with specialists able to take over with complex treatments where necessary.

The Isle of Man has an aging population and as a result a large proportion of the acute medical take have age related presentations; to ensure we continue to deliver high quality care, our geriatric service is currently undergoing an expansion. As one part of this expansion, we hope to develop a Frailty Unit with improved community resources to ensure patients can be transferred home following treatment of any acute medical problems, with wrap around support from therapy staff and home care workers.

As our community frailty and intermediate care services are in the process of being developed, this is an ideal opportunity for someone to be at the forefront of implementing and embedding such vital services on our Island.

What can this role offer me?

We strongly encourage personal and professional development, and you will have access to our in-house Education and Training Centre equipped with a comprehensive library, study rooms, lecture theatre and a state of the art simulation suite.

We recognise the need for all medical staff on the Island to maintain connections with medicine in the United Kingdom, and we provide generous study Leave with pay and expenses to attend approved conferences and workshops.

You will receive a competitive salary with incremental pay progression and excellent holiday entitlement. Free on-site parking will also be available to you.

Manx Care is committed to creating smoke-free spaces and is ‘proud to be smoke free’ as part of the overall Isle of Man Smoke Free 2030 ambition. As of April 1st 2021 smoking is no longer permitted on our Manx Care & DHSC sites, including nursing, residential and EMI units around the Island. For support and advice on abstinence from smoking, please contact Quit4You on 642404 or Quit4You@gov.im.

About the Island and relocating

Here you can enjoy a fantastic quality of life, and an excellent work-life balance! There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities; so if you like walking, mountain biking, sailing or kayaking, you’ll have lots of places to explore!

There are also lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants, and you can enjoy the Island’s real sense of community. The island is well connected to the UK, and you’ll also benefit from low income tax rates (20% maximum rate).

If you are relocating or returning to the Island, you can also benefit from the National Insurance Holiday Scheme, which allows you to apply for a refund on your NI contributions for your 1st year of living here. To see how this scheme could benefit you, and to find out more about relocating to the Isle of Man, visit www.locate.im.

A relocation package of up to £7,000 based on receipts is available for this role. Housing Assistance is also available where the Department will pay the difference between your current mortgage/rent bill, and that of your new accommodation on the Isle of Man, up to a maximum of £250 per month. 

Additional information

Please note an enhanced with barring police check is required for this post which the Department will cover the cost of for you.
