About the role

This post provides a unique opportunity to join our innovative and expanding infection department. We welcome applicants with either CCT in Microbiology or joint CCT in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology. This is a replacement post offered at 10 PAs full time, though part time applicants with pro - rata on call will be considered.

The post holder will be responsible for contributing to our 24-hour Clinical Infection Service. Infection services in the trust encompass a wide range of complex and interesting cases including The Mid Yorkshire Regional Adult Burns Centre and Regional Children’s Burns Unit and Yorkshire Regional Spinal Injuries Centre.

The Trust is developing a range of clinical care services relevant to Infectious Diseases and Microbiology dual trained consultants, with one such consultant already in post.

Our Trust recently attained Teaching status. As part of our journey to University Hospital status, the Trust has a strategic priority to increase our number of clinical academic positions, we would welcome applicants who have an aspiration to adopt a clinical academic role in future.

Multidisciplinary meetings including haematology, orthopaedics, infection control, regional burns centre and intensive care
Developing services including outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), undergraduate teaching and research
On-call duties currently shared on a 1 in 4 basis. On-call responsibility is currently based on 1 in 4 rota.
Involvement in clinical governance, audit and quality of care assessment, maintenance and improvement
With the evolution of the service, there is a potential future opportunity to be involved with the delivery of TB and Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria infection care. Opportunities also exist to develop services in HIV and infectious diseases. Initially it is expected that this role will be distributed to largely deliver Medical Microbiology related care (including e.g. OPAT, bone and joint infection), with opportunity to discuss ongoing arrangements after appointment.

Please see the attached full job description for an example weekly timetable.
