About the job
Join our dedicated team as a Specialist Doctor in Geriatric Medicine, where you will make a significant impact on the lives of elderly patients in our community. This role is based in Sittingbourne, Kent, and offers a permanent position with a competitive salary of up to £72,000 per annum.
You will provide essential support across four community hospitals within the adult rehabilitation sector, focusing on short-stay patients recovering from conditions such as stroke and neurological issues. While these patients do not require acute hospital services, they may be admitted directly from their homes.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and additional services like speech and language therapy and podiatry. You will be integral in delivering exceptional patient care across all four hospital wards, working alongside two other doctors in a supportive environment.
This full-time role entails 40 hours per week and does not require on-call or weekend duties. You will be responsible for day-to-day medical care and patient reviews, guided by the clinical lead consultant. Regular attendance at rounds and MDT meetings will be expected, allowing you to assess and discharge patients appropriately.
This position allows for autonomy while being part of a team committed to exceeding expectations in patient care.
