We have an exciting opportunity available in one of the UK’s most up and coming and rapidly developing Cities.
NHS Tayside seeks to appoint a Locum Appointment for Training (LAT) at ST3+ level in Paediatrics. This post is fixed term until August 3rd 2027.
Tayside has an excellent reputation for being a friendly and supportive environment with a passion for paediatric training. This post will be two 6 month placements and will be based in either neonatology or acute general paediatrics in the first instance, but specialist rotations may be possible if desired. Applicants will be expected to work on the middle grade (tier 2) rota which has a 1 in 8 on-call.. Candidates should have their TAS, FOP and AKP (or MRCPCH part 1 and part 2) or equivalent. We have an exceptional record of supporting candidates to achieve their MRCPCH clinical exam.
The post holder must (at the time of commencement of employment) have full registration with the GMC and a license to practice and have completed a UK based Foundation Programme or have evidence of equivalent foundation competencies. They should be able to provide evidence of achievement of paediatric capabilities equivalent to a trainee who has completed ST2, as defined by the Paediatric RCPCH Progress+ curriculum.
If subsequently appointed to a relevant Specialty Training Programme through open competition, documented competences achieved through a LAT can count towards CCT, or towards a CESR application for those not entering an approved Specialty Training Programme.”
Applications will be considered from those wishing to work less than full time.
