Clinical Fellow in Infectious Diseases (ST1-2 equivalent)

Job overview

We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated, ambitious individual to join our well integrated team. 

The successful applicants will have already completed Foundation Training or equivalent and hold a full GMC registration with a license at the time of application.  Familiarity with the NHS and a demonstrable existing interest in Infectious Diseases are both desirable but not essential. 

Post to commence 6 August 2025 until 4 August 2026. 

In addition to the challenges of the role, we can offer you a commitment to teaching, education, research and audit.

We typically receive several hundred applications for ST1/2 locally employed doctor posts and we will therefore only shortlist candidates with paid NHS experience (this does not include Clinical Access or Clinical Observership placements) which is an essential criteria within the Person Specification.  Please do not apply if you do not have paid NHS experience as this leads to significant clinician time reviewing applications from applicants who will not be shortlisted.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
