Summary

12 month Fixed Term Post. [Jan 2027 – Dec 2027]

Applications are invited for a full-time Clinical Fellowship in Diabetes Technology at the Leicester Diabetes Centre based at the Leicester General Hospital.

For the right candidate, we can discuss extension up to 3 years if they want to undertake a PhD.

The position is based within the Leicester Diabetes Centre at Leicester General hospital, led by Professor Dame Melanie Davies and Professor Kamlesh Khunti that is one of the largest facilities in Europe for conducting first class clinical research.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious trainee ( ST5 or senior) or someone who has recently finished their specialist training and wants to enhance their clinical and academic portfolio in diabetes and technology. Prior research or technology experience is not essential.

The role would involve between 3-5 clinics / week focussed on delivery of hybrid closed loop therapy and management of complex type 1 and type 2 diabetes under the supervision of Professor Pratik Choudhary and Professor Dame Melanie Davies. You will be responsible for running the complex T1D MDT and the pump MDT providing excellent opportunities to develop expertise in complex type 1 diabetes as well as leadership skills.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:

• high-quality care for all,

• being a great place to work,

• partnerships for impact, and

• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,

• we are proud,

• we are inclusive, and

• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
