Our service philosophy and approach is placing the child and family at the centre of delivery of care. Under the current Covid-19 circumstances this is particularly important and requires great flexibility and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. 

The workload is busy, but the environment is one of support, as well as having a sense of enjoyment and job satisfaction. We support the development of medical leadership and have a strong programme of Quality Improvement and Continuing Professional Development.

We are seeking to appoint a part-time Consultant to expand our team of Community Paediatricians delivering our city-wide services, as well as contributing to our medical leadership team:

The postholder will contribute to the Community Paediatric clinics within the East of the city, as well as the specialist Growth and Nutrition service. The postholder will also contribute to the daytime Community Child Protection rota. There will be opportunities to contribute to other parts of the service over time according to the interests of the applicant and the needs of the service.

The postholder will play an important role in supporting the specialist training of paediatric trainees and will contribute to the under graduate teaching programme.

At Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, we exist to provide the best possible care in every community in Leeds. Community Paediatric Services provide care to patients from a wide range of backgrounds and with multiple conditions.  Their safety and the quality of their outcomes are at the heart of what we do.
