Job summary
Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is
pleased to announce the development and introduction of these new, innovative
and exciting posts which have been designed primarily for trainees who are
looking to take a 12-month break from their training after successfully
completing their FY2 placements. We
envisage these roles as being an ideal stepping stone for trainees between
their FY2 and Specialty training posts and offer opportunities to applicants to
develop skills and experience in other areas such as medical education,
quality/service improvement and medical leadership.
The posts
will be a combination of service delivery and educational input within the stroke, elderly and
acute medicine services, as well as
other specialties within the Division of Medicine.
Main duties of the job
Duties will be based either on our Pinderfields or
Dewsbury Hospital site although all our medical staff are involved in
delivering care to patients on all our sites.
These roles will enable the post holder to take
supervised responsibility for patient care and consolidate the skills they have
learned at medical school. As the post holder gains experience, they
will remain under clinical supervision but take on increasing responsibility
for patient care. In particular they
will begin to make management decisions as part of their progress to
independent practice.
During their tenure the post holder will further
develop their core generic skills and contribute more to the education and
training of the wider healthcare workforce.
At the end of their tenure the post holder will have begun to
demonstrate clinical effectiveness, leadership and the decision-making
responsibilities that are essential for the next stage of their careers.
About us
We are an acute trust caring for over half a million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff work in patients homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield). We prioritise our people and values so we can deliver the best possible care to patients. Our team is friendly, passionate, and innovative, always seeking better ways to work.
We support work-life balance and foster a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and especially encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minority groups, and people with disabilities or neurodivergence to apply, as they are currently underrepresented in the Trust.
If you value caring, high standards, improvement, and respect, join the MY team to make a difference every day.
Application guidance: We understand that more applicants are using AI technology to help with their applications. While these tools can be useful, they cannot fully capture your skills, knowledge, and experience. Its important that you personalise your application. Relying solely on AI is not recommended, as it may reduce your chances of success. Our screening process is thorough, so if you have used AI, please make sure to disclose this on your application form.

their role as well as taking part in scheduled educational opportunities within
the Trust and specialties.
We aim to give you the opportunities
needed to complete Certificate of Readiness to Enter Specialty Training

your previous experience and your progress throughout the year.
An

Director
The Medical
Division at Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust provides Acute care across the
range of medical specialities in a large modern purpose-built hospital in
Wakefield, which includes an Acute Elderly Assessment Unit, Coronary Care and
Acute (Respiratory) Care Unit.
We also provide care for Acute Elderly
Admissions and step-down care for patients in a less acute phase of their
admission at Dewsbury Hospital.
Successful applicants will support speciality across the division in the
management of their in-patient workload.
The Service Role
From a clinical perspective these posts will
participate in the cross site junior trainee rota. The junior trainee rota is compliant with the
2016 junior doctor contract averaging 48 hours per week.
Duties will be based either on our Pinderfields or
Dewsbury Hospital site although all our medical staff are involved in
delivering care to patients on all our sites.
These roles will enable the post holder to take
supervised responsibility for patient care and consolidate the skills they have
learned at medical school. As the post holder gains experience, they
will remain under clinical supervision but take on increasing responsibility
for patient care. In particular they
will begin to make management decisions as part of their progress to
independent practice.
During their tenure the post holder will further
develop their core generic skills and contribute more to the education and
training of the wider healthcare workforce.
At the end of their tenure the post holder will have begun to
demonstrate clinical effectiveness, leadership and the decision-making
responsibilities that are essential for the next stage of their careers.
The
Additional Roles
Successful applicants will initially be
given lead roles in identified projects in one or more of the areas identified
below reflecting their key interests and objectives for their year. In addition, they will be encouraged and
supported in creating new initiatives/projects which address challenges and
opportunities facing the Trust.
Medical
Education

department. We have close links with the
University of Leeds and receive excellent feedback from our medical
students. You will have the opportunity
to get involved with teaching should you so wish.
We also have weekly grand rounds and
departmental teaching.
There is a simulation department if you
would want to improve your clinical skills.
Quality/Service
Improvement
Our dedicated audit and project improvement department are available
to support any quality improvement projects you would wish to be involved in.
Revalidation
This post is not part of a
national training scheme so brings with it an obligation to engage with the
process of revalidation on an annual basis. The Trust has procedures that comply with
national recommendations. As a Trust employed doctor on a fixed term contract
successfully appointed applicants will need to have a prescribed connection
with Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust via GMC Connect and will therefore have
Dr Richard Robinson the Medical Director at the Trust as their GMC Responsible
Officer.
We have a dedicated
organisational development department who can help you with the revalidation
process.
