Job Summary

Birmingham Health Partners is a strategic alliance of five NHS trusts, West Midlands Academic Health Science Network, Aston University and the University of Birmingham which aims to improve the health and wealth of our region. The collaboration has expertise that spans the full spectrum of the translational pipeline, and this post will seek to address clinical service needs and add critical mass to our strategic research themes.   From the outset we are seeking to appoint the very best clinical academics and have therefore agreed with our NHS partners to match fund a number of appointments.  These posts are designed as a permanent appointment, on a 10PA job plan representing a clear equal (50:50) split between clinical activities and academic time and will be based at either of the four NHS Trusts named in the job advert. 

As a new initiative and wanting to appoint our most talented future clinical academic leaders, this appointment is advertised as specialty agnostic. The clinical element of the post will be designed to accommodate the interests of the appointee and needs of the clinical service defined following appointment. The appointment will be made (initially with the University as a secondary care appointment) for five years’ probation period, with annual appraisal. A review will occur at 3 years with the appointee to assess future career trajectory and determine either continuation as a clinical academic or develop a plan to transition into a full time NHS consultant position over the remaining two years with a permanent NHS consultant appointment. The appointee will be allocated a named mentor (a Senior Clinical Academic at College Board level) to support professional activities and be available for face-to-face regular meetings throughout the first 3 years.

Person Specification
