Job description
Job responsibilities
There is no on call requirement at night, although the post holder will participate in a daytime on-call rota 9am - 5pm to deliver child protection medical examinations.
The successful candidate will work as part of a fully integrated multidisciplinary specialist team providing care to children and young people with health needs, across Thurrock. The successful applicant will also become part of a large (30+ community paediatricians), dynamic, community paediatric team, across the whole of North East London Foundation Trust.
