Foundation and Junior Clinical Fellows in Medicine

A Vacancy at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust.

Interviews are due to take place at the beginning of June.

Contracts are due to end 6th August 2025

These fixed term posts have been created to provide additional cover of the medical specialties' rotas on a long-term basis. The posts will mirror UK junior doctor training and there will be provision to extend with a rotational pattern based on service requirements. The team may extend thereafter based on service requirements.

The successful candidates would be provided with an opportunity to work several departments (based on Deanery rotation changes), which may include the following: Respiratory, Acute/ITU, Infectious Diseases, Care of the Elderly, Haematology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Diabetes & Endocrine, Renal and General Internal Medicine. The majority of these postings will be within UHCW, Coventry but there is a rotation based out of Rugby St Cross hospital, which is also part of the allocations. There is a free shuttle bus available from our Coventry site to St Cross.

A clinical supervisor will be allocated for each rotation with an overall educational supervisor for the fixed period from the respective department. The post holders will be entitled to study leave and supported in pursuing professional qualifications as appropriate.
