Bank Doctor in Emergency Department

Job overview

East Cheshire NHS Trust is looking to recruit Bank Doctors in our Emergency Department to enhance our already successful Medical Staff Bank.

Applications are welcomed from doctors to work on an ad-hoc basis  to help provide consistent, high level patient care and to assist with the continuity of care that the Trust provides.

Please note, you must have a minimum of 12 months NHS/UK experience in order to proceed with joining our Bank.

Due to the terms of a Bank contract, we are unable to meet the UKVI Skilled Worked criteria and therefore unable to provide sponsorship for Visa purposes
