We recognise the importance of a rewarding and sustainable job role especially given the high acuity and pressures associated with delivery of Acute Care. We are committed to supporting a healthy work life balance and will support options of flexible working, annualised job plans and less than full time working. This role comes with the opportunity for the successful applicant (should they wish) to spend two sessions to further develop interests in other areas which may include another specialty service or alternatively medical education, clinical governance and quality improvement, clinical leadership or research. ### Main duties of the job The Locum Consultant will contribute to the delivery of specialist diabetes services. This may include dedicated involvement in antenatal diabetes care, preconception counselling, and transitional clinics for young people moving into adult services. These areas may sit alongside other specialist clinics but are recognised as key components of a comprehensive and forward-looking diabetes service. In addition, the post offers an opportunity to support emerging service developments. Notably, there are plans to establish an insulin pump service within antenatal care. The successful candidate may be expected to contribute to this initiative, including providing clinical oversight and supporting community teams who may require additional guidance as the service is implemented. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The post is offered at 10PAs. Further details regarding the role can be found within the attached job description. ### Applicant requirements You must have appropriate UK professional registration. This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020 and it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service. ## Person Specification ### Other **Essential** - Ability to communicate effectively with patients and staff at all levels of the organisation - Full driving licence **Desirable** - Recognised teaching skills course Special interest in role development and staff training - Membership of relevant medical associations/learned societies - Evidence to allow accreditation as a Consultant Educational Supervisor for trainee doctors with the GMC ### Ability **Essential** - Recognised ability to work within, and provide leadership to, the multidisciplinary team - Effective communicator - Excellent interpersonal skills - Flexibility of approach - Commitment to clinical risk management and implementation of clinical governance - Effective team leader ### Experience **Essential** - Extensive experience in Diabetes and Endocrinology **Desirable** - Diabetes Subspecialty and metabolic medicine / weight management. - Experience of running a pump service. - Experience in delivering ante-natal care. - Experience in delivering transitional care. ### Qualifications **Essential** - Full GMC Registration - MBBS or equivalent - MRCP or equivalent **Desirable** - Additional higher degrees relevant to this post - Other postgraduate qualification e.g. MD, PhD - Qualified educational supervisor ### Audit & Research **Essential** - Relevant experience in clinical audit - Relevant experience in research and evidence of publications - Ability to develop evidence based practice **Desirable** - Research leading to MD or PhD ### Teaching and Education **Essential** - Experience and interest in teaching both junior medical and non-medical staff - Evidence of commitment to continuing professional development and lifelong learning - Commitment to teaching - Evidence to allow accreditation as a Consultant Clinical Supervisor for trainee doctors with the GMC **Desirable** - Recognised teaching skills course Special interest in role development and staff training - Membership of relevant medical associations/learned societies - Evidence to allow accreditation as a Consultant Educational Supervisor for trainee doctors with the GMC ## Documents - [welcome to mcht (pdf, 1.7mb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2862) - [job description (pdf, 418.5kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10609421) - [welcome to mchft (pdf, 654.3kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?ddoc=2009) - [continuous improvement (pdf, 292.8kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2680) - [mchft safeguarding statement (pdf, 320.6kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=3026) - [an applicant's guide to trust benefits (pdf, 296.1kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?ddoc=2010) - [mid cheshire hospitals benefits brochure (pdf, 1.7mb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2791) - [guide to recruitment process & timescales (pdf, 237.1kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?ddoc=2011) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
