Applications are invited for the post of Junior Specialist Doctor in Sexual and Reproductive Health.

The Sexual Health Service provided by UHB is called Umbrella and provides an innovative, holistic and fully integrated sexual health service to the population of Birmingham and Solihull (combined population approximately 1.3 million).

Umbrella provides both clinical service delivery and health promotion. The clinical service includes both sexual health clinics operated directly by UHB, all of which are fully integrated to provide both STI testing and treatment, and provision of contraception, and provision of services in primary care by general medical practitioners and community pharmacists through a formal sub-contracting process.

The post is full-time (40 hours), with no on call. The post-holder is expected to undertake approximately 36 hours of clinical sessions per week. This includes Sexual Health and Reproductive Sexual Health clinics and may include procedure clinics, depending on the skillset of the appointed candidate. The role also includes evening clinical sessions during the weekdays until 19.00. The rest of time will be devoted to management of patient results, mandatory training, CPD, teaching, and audit.

The Doctor will be supervised by a Sexual Health Consultant and will also be responsible to the Clinical Service Leads.

The post-holder is expected to do evening sexual health clinics (until 19.00). The service also runs Saturday clinics at Whittall Street Clinic and the successful candidate is expected to participate in the Saturday rota on a pro-rota basis. A day off in lieu will be given.
