About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join an experienced and motivated child and young people service team at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is now part of University Hospital Tees. The Department of Paediatrics at South Tees is a dynamic department working across two sites - Middlesbrough and Northallerton.

This is a substantive position for a Consultant Paediatrician, however applications from general paediatricians with a specialist interest in epilepsy are encouraged to apply. Applications will also be considered from individuals with any other special interest, according to the needs of the department.

All Consultants work across both sites and a variety of opportunities are available for this.

We are a large secondary care centre in the Tees Valley area providing acute, community and specialist care as well as planned services for children in Middlesbrough, Redcar and Northallerton. We provide a broad range of specialist treatments including cardiology, diabetes, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, asthma, paediatric endocrine, allergies, gastroenterology and the full range of community paediatric services. We have six commissioned level 2 HDU bed and we are part of the North East Paediatric Critical Care Network.
