Trust Doctor Jobs in the NHS

Trust doctor jobs are NHS doctor posts employed directly by a trust rather than through a national training programme. They are often advertised as trust grade doctor, locally employed doctor, clinical fellow, LED, or resident doctor roles. Most sit at junior or senior resident doctor level, with specialty, rota, supervision, and contract length varying by department.
