Full Job Description

We are looking for highly motivated individuals to join our team and be a driving force in further developing our infection service. These posts would be well suited to junior doctors looking to deepen their infection and microbiology knowledge.

This will incorporate colleagues in infectious diseases, sexual and reproductive health, respiratory medicine, genitourinary medicine and infection prevention.

Candidates who do not fit this criteria will not progress through to the shortlisting stage., There are a wealth of advantages to joining our team, not limited to the following;
+ Extensive range of specialties with potential to develop the infection service in areas of special interest
+ Complex and varied case mix (many opportunities for publications/research and continuous professional development)
+ Large laboratory with WASP lab automation and partnered with UKHSA. Continuously looking to implement new molecular technologies
+ Implementation of new laboratory IT system (Beaker) and Electronic patient record system (HIVE) across the trust since September 2022.
+ Strong and regular communication between clinical team and laboratory
+ Great relationships with supportive AMS pharmacy team - weekly complex case MDTs and stewardship ward rounds., COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the 'NHS England' website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.
