We are seeking two energetic, enthusiastic, highly skilled consultants with broad experience in children and young people’s diabetes and/or endocrinology to join our team at University College Hospital (UCLH).
There are 13 PAs available to be used flexibly across the diabetes and endocrine services depending on the expertise and preference of the appointed candidates e.g. one fulltime and one less than fulltime position, or two less than fulltime positions, with the proviso that minimum number of diabetes PAs is 3 for one of the positions.

We would particularly value applicants with active experience in research, pre-clinical type 1 diabetes, immunotherapy or technology. The appointee may have an additional interest that complements the current skills within our team, including mental health, safeguarding, neurodevelopment or adolescent medicine.

CV required with application.

We would expect the appointee to have or develop a sub-speciality interest in endocrinology that complements the current interests within our department, such as puberty and reproductive endocrinology disorders, pituitary disorders, adrenal disorders, DSD, late effects of cancer treatments, and to support the endocrine component of the NHS England specialist services for Children and Young People (CYP) with Gender Incongruence (previously GIDS).

The appointee will be expected to participate in teaching activities on the UCH site, liaise with the GOSH teaching and training lead, and will be responsible for educational supervision of trainees.
The appointee will be part of a dynamic department with great opportunities for training, education and leadership and research. The Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes and endocrinology Department at UCLH forms a partnership with the Paediatric Endocrinology Department at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Training and education is developed jointly across the two sites, and there are opportunities to collaborate closely with the Diabetes team at GOSH in terms of research, education and clinical care.

We are developing innovative integrated approaches to clinical care with partner organisations outside the hospital. A new Electronic Health Record System offers exciting opportunities in both Quality Improvement and Research.
