We’re looking to welcome a Community Paediatrician to join the team here in Plymouth.

Sitting within the acute trust we also benefit from close working relationships with our acute paediatric colleagues, and join them for teaching and training opportunities.

The post is a 7PA post (though we welcome discussion regarding working hours), covering a broad range of neuro-disability and neuro-behavioural clinical work.

The Trust works in partnership with both Plymouth University Peninsula Medical School of Medicine and Dentistry and the University of Exeter
Medical School.

Plymouth offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities and a vibrant urban culture, offering the perfect work life balance.

We particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups and those wishing to work on a part time /flexible basis. For enquiries please contact Dr Heather Jarvis SLD, heatherjarvis1@nhs.net
