We’re recruiting geriatricians in east Kent

We’re looking for a team of consultants to take forward a dynamic and innovative new programme in east Kent, dedicated to keeping older people with frailty out of hospital and at home for longer.

We’ll never say: “we’ve always done it like that.”

If you can bring fresh ideas and  passion to deliver real projects that can improve patient care, we’ll give you freedom to flourish.

We’re all about innovation. During the pandemic we provided hospital-level treatment for nearly 300 people at home, including people with covid-19, with oxygen and dexamethasone.

Create your own role

We’re working in partnership across acute and community settings so you can create your own role – and choose your own hours to suit your ambitions and commitments.

We’re already working in a multi-professional way with over 25 Advanced Clinical Practitioners in the combined acute and community frailty teams working to support frail older people in east Kent.

Sound’s good! Where are you based?

We’re in east Kent, that’s the bit of England between London and France. Or as we like to call it, a little corner of paradise.

Why? Sandy beaches. Clifftop walks and coastal sunsets. Art. Culture. Communities. Countryside. Diversity.

High speed trains to London from all of the major towns. House prices that won’t make you cry. Great schools, country pubs, day trips to France. Did we mention the lovely beaches?
