Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the busiest and largest NHS foundation trusts in the country, with around 15,000 staff and an annual budget of £1.6 billion.
We have a long history of providing high quality care, clinical excellence, and innovation in medical research regionally, nationally and internationally.
We’re in the top five providers of specialised health services in the country, supporting people with a range of rare and complex medical, surgical and neurological conditions, cancers and genetic orders.
Our staff oversee around 6,500 patient contacts each day, delivering high standards of healthcare.
We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and recognise the benefit in providing an inclusive environment. We value and respect the diversity of our employees and aim to recruit a workforce which reflects the communities we serve, and is equipped to deliver the best service to our patients. We welcome all applications irrespective of people’s race, disability, sex, sexual orientation, religion or belief, age, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity and in particular those from under- represented groups.
Newcastle Hospitals are proud to be one of the exemplar organisations across the NHS on sustainability, with a long history of delivering Sustainable Healthcare in Newcastle (Shine) and the first healthcare organisation in the world to declare a climate emergency. Our strategy includes commitments to being Net Zero by 2030, for our direct carbon footprint, and Net Zero by 2040 for our footprint plus. Delivering these ambitions will not be possible without the help, support and action of every single member of our team.
Trosolwg o'r swydd
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.
Please read attached Job Description and Person Specification.

Clinical
The scope of clinical work that the post holder will be called on to contribute will include:
· Clinical management of in-patients under the care of the ITM team. This may variously include patients admitted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary on Ward 19 (main infection ward, with negative pressure isolation facilities), High Level Isolation Unit (HLIU), Ward 5 (patients with a mix of general medical and infection-related problems, generally of lower acuity and/or complexity), general medical patients boarded to other wards, and joint care of patients under other specialist teams who have been referred to ITM.
· Contribution to ITM outpatient clinics, including individual consultants’ general infection clinics along with specialist clinics in Tb, HIV, Viral Hepatitis, Outpatient Antibiotic Treatment (OPAT), Chronic Fatigue and post-COVID syndromes.
· Out-of-hours. Any post holder may have the opportunity to gain specialty on-call experience by contributing to the ITM out-of-hours rota. This is not mandatory, would receive a level of consultant support appropriate to the individual’s level of experience, and can be negotiated separately to the core contract.
Administrative
· Maintaining clear documentation of all clinical activity, including correspondence to GPs.
· Supporting the timely completion of discharge summaries.
· Ensuring mandatory documentation for all admitted patients is completed for purposes of audit and quality (e.g. venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, dementia assessments).
Research
· There is no formal research component, although there may be opportunities to contribute to recruitment of patients to clinical trials. This would be contingent on completing training in Good Clinical Practice, which would be supported.
Flexibility:
In line with the Trust’s core value of placing patients at the heart of everything we do, we are developing our service provision to be responsive to the needs of our patients. To meet those needs some staff groups will be increasingly asked to work a more flexible work pattern so that they can offer services in the evening or weekend. As a result any offer of employment to a consultant post will be subject to you agreeing to work a new more flexible pattern or working in the future if required, including evening and weekend work.
Please read attached Job Description and Person Specification.
