Consultant in Neurology - Welcome Bonus £13,000
East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
An opportunity has arisen to join our Neurology team at Colchester hospital in the Specialist Medicine CDG.
ENEFT recognises that neurology patients have some of the most challenging and complex illnesses. With this in mind, the Trust wants to invest in and develop its neurology services, creating a centre of excellence.
We are inviting applications for a full time Neurology Consultant, with flexible working and part time options considered. Applications from those with specialist interests in Epilepsy or Liaison Neurology would be particularly welcomed.
Our Enhanced Welcome package includes an additional £13,000 and relocation costs to thank you for choosing to work at our trust.
Main Duties of the Job We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual to work within our Neurology team at Colchester hospital. We are looking for someone who can work closely with the management team to help drive our service forward and support our integration across the region.
The Neurology department has a budget for 4 consultants and we have six specialist nurses (two in Epilepsy, two in Multiple Sclerosis & two in Parkinson's Disease). We have strong links with the Neuro rehab and Neuro physiology team.
Together, the Neurology staff provide a wide variety of outpatient clinics at Colchester Hospital. The service currently sees approximately 3600 new patients each year. All consultants contribute to the general Neurology outpatient service, which includes a fast-track pathway for patients with suspected seizures.
About Us We are ESNEFT, providing hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics, and in patients' own homes. We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.
We pride ourselves on supporting our staff with a wide range of training and development opportunities, flexible working options, a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata), and access to a range of NHS discounts.
If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
