About us
Health care
professionals in Jersey enjoy more autonomy and the opportunity to shape the
public health service in a small island on a development journey.
Jersey is a unique
place to live and work and being a Doctor in Jersey is different. As a crown
dependency, we are an Island nation which includes our own Health Care Service.
And it is a service on the move with the new Enid Quenault health care facility
opened in 2023 and commitment to improve and invest in further healthcare
facilities including a brand-new acute hospital. Our patients and health
professionals are at the centre of all we do, as a doctor you have more time to
care and we give more time to you, for your development and wellbeing as well
as the opportunity to carry out private patient work.
Health and Care
Jersey is recognised for junior doctors and active teaching is encouraged in
this role. It is expected that the post holder is participating in the training
of medical staff and that the candidate will ensure that the training and
learning needs are identified and facilitated. This includes educational
support for the clinical fellows recruited directly to Health & Care
Jersey.
Opportunities for
participating in research are supported when appropriate. The Health & Care
