Job summary

This post will run parallel to our current SPR grade role, and will offer identical opportunities to take part in consultant supervised training relating to both the general medical and diabetes/endocrinology curriculum. It would ideally suit a candidate looking to progress into the speciality at SPR level who wishes to gain more experience in it.

The successful candidate would undertake two clinics per week (one in diabetes and another in endocrinology) with the chance to participate in sub-speciality work as listed above, together with helping support speciality based in-reach work, and providing on-going support to other team members on our general medical ward. In addition, they would be encouraged to attend sub-speciality clinics, and to support local research/audit initiatives. At present, the post-holder will not be expected to participate in general medical acute on-call services - however, should the successful applicant wish to be part of our current 18 man medical SPR rota for such on-calls, it will be possible to arrange this, with appropriate remuneration.

About us

The Trust was formed on 1st August 2010 through the integration of Croydon Community Health Services and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust. Around 4,100 staff provide services for a population of over 360,000 people who are relatively young with a high level of ethnic diversity.

Our main hospital site, Croydon University Hospital is one of the busiest in London. We're also leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people's homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children's Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital.

Across the NHS everyone is working hard to meet growing demand and we're no exception. But with the right people on board, we are rising to this challenge, putting our people in the driving seat, encouraging innovation and transforming our services to give local people the quality of care they deserve. Croydon Health Services puts a great deal of importance on education and training throughout the careers of all of our staff. As well as offering access to a range of core skills training and professional development.
