Job Overview
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, driven new colleague to join our team as a Junior Clinical Fellow with a special interest in one of five subjects (Major Trauma, Education, Medical Leadership, Toxicology and Ultrasound).
This fellowship will split your time 75% clinical (on the junior doctor rota) and 25% allocated to undertake additional training, projects and academic activity in your chosen special interest. This will come with supervision and financial support to achieve additional qualifications (e.g. PGCert).
You will join a very well supported team working primarily in the Adult ED of a leading Major Trauma Centre and be allocated a supervising EM Consultant with relevant interests to support your fellowship from our renowned team.
There is EM Consultant presence on the shop floor at least 23 hours a day Sunday to Friday and 16 hours per day over the weekend. When a consultant is not present in the department there will typically be two doctors of ST4+ level.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
Understanding and anticipation of the needs of patients, visitors and staff.
Appointment will be made under local contractual terms and conditions of service for Trust appointed (non-training fellow doctors and dentists).
Successful candidates will have an educational framework equivalent to training grade doctors, and there will be a named educational supervisor assigned at the start of the post. The opportunity for Continued Professional Development (CPD) is highly supported and encouraged by the Trust, with options available to take study leave. All licensed doctors must meet the GMC requirements for revalidation and there will be an annual appraisal to support this process.
Grades for Trust appointed (non-training) fellows will be paid a basic salary at a nodal pay point linked to the grade, at the rate set out in the National Medical and Dental pay circular. Basic salary detailed below plus any additional remuneration (as applicable) for hours set out in the doctors work schedule (e.g. additional hours, weekend allowance, and any hours which attract enhanced pay).
Basic Salary - MT03 £49,909.
Travelling expenses will not be paid for attending interview.

Successful applicants will already have GMC registration or will be able to demonstrate they are eligible.
