NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC)
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The Shift Pattern
The shift pattern for this post is Full Time.
Please note the salary is Pro Rata for part time hours.
About The Opportunity
We are seeking to appoint three Consultant Geriatricians (one in each of the three Sectors, Clyde, North and South) to join established Older People’s Services teams and support the delivery of high quality care for people living with frailty.
These posts form part of a wider programme of investment to strengthen frailty care across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. While each role will be embedded within a local consultant team and contributing to existing service delivery, the posts also offer an important opportunity to support the ongoing development of a more coordinated, whole system approach to frailty care.
The Transformation You Will Support
Across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, we are progressing a programme to improve how care is delivered for people living with frailty, focusing on earlier specialist assessment, better use of multidisciplinary teams, and stronger integration across care settings.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
These Consultant posts will contribute to that ambition, while also meeting the needs of established services. This may include supporting existing ward and assessment unit activity, providing clinical leadership within local frailty and Older People’s services, and contributing to the development of interface, frailty hub, and virtual care models where aligned to the post.
The precise balance of responsibilities will vary by Sector and job plan, recognising local service needs and priorities. Job packs for each of the three posts can be found attached to this advert.
