We invite applications for a Consultant Community Paediatrician, with special interest in Children Looked After. The post holder will be part of the Barnet Community Consultant team at Edgware Community Hospital, with no resident on call. This post is offered at 6PA per week, and will comprise a mixture of clinical work, including child development clinics, EHCP Assessments and Children Looked After Initial Health Assessments.

The postholder will also provide medical advice to the Fostering and Adoption Child Health Service. This post is mainly based at Edgware Community hospital, but with clinical commitments at other sites across Barnet.
