Summary

Are you a Community Paediatrician looking to join a dynamic and expanding Community Paediatric service, with a strong emphasis on effective teamwork and departmental wellbeing? We invite you to apply for a new locum consultant post in East Sussex.

This post has been created as part of the ongoing expansion and development of the service, following work with the Trust and our Commissioners.

Full Registration with the GMC is essential.

Our Trust is commissioned to provide Community Paediatric and Child Health Services for East Sussex. It has two sites in which the Community Paediatric Department is currently based; Eastbourne District General Hospital and Conquest Hospital, Hastings. We also have a main service hub in a Children’s Centre located in Egerton Park, Bexhill. Cross site working is encouraged dependent on special interest and service needs.

The Trust’s vision is to be the healthcare provider of first choice for the people of East Sussex. It is making excellent progress in this regard as evidenced by the latest CQC ratings published in February 2020 which give an overall rating of Good.

We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work

We provide safe, compassionate and high quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by 7000 + members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites and in people’s own homes.

In 2020 the Care Quality Commission rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’. Eastbourne DGH rated ‘Good’.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.
