Job summary

We are seeking to recruit a enthusiastic and hardworking doctor to join our General Medicine Departments as Junior Specialist doctors at Midland Metropolitan University Hospital. These post will be 12 months fixed term posts in the first instance, starting as soon as possible with the possibility of longer term opportunities within the Trust, subject to performance and progress. These posts would be aimed at junior grade CT/ST 1-2 level (ie 2 years post qualification level) and whilst not approved training posts we would endeavor to provide training opportunities.
