More emphasis on community-based care means there’s never been a better time to join us. We are looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Health to join our caring and progressive team in Margate. We’re a close team but we’re never exclusive, if you can bring a professional approach and fresh ideas we would love to hear from you. ### Main duties of the job Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust provides integrated sexual health services across East Kent and Medway from a variety of settings including acute hospital sites, purpose-built health centres, community hospitals, community clinics and GP practices. Services include sexual and reproductive health, outreach and young persons (YP) services and GUM/ HIV services. We also provide psychosexual services for the whole of Kent and Medway. In Medway, we provide a Level 3 integrated sexual health service and outpatient HIV service from new purpose-built premises at 4 Clover Street, Chatham, with around 15 000 patient attendances per year. There is a cohort of 320 individuals living with HIV who attend for outpatient care. We are not contracted to provide HIV inpatient care at Medway Maritime Hospital but this may be a possibility in future. There are extended opening hours including evenings, but currently no weekend responsibilities. We provide online testing for asymptomatic and simple symptomatic clients through SH:UK, outreach services for vulnerable clients, and also work in partnership with a variety of community organisations in Medway to deliver sexual health care outside of the clinic.  There is a fully equipped office with IT access shared with the GUM consultant, and an on-site medical secretary.
