3 Junior Specialist Doctor Higher's in Geriatric Medicine
We are seeking to recruit enthusiastic and hardworking doctors to join our Geriatric Medicine Department as Junior Specialty Doctor - Higher at the Midland Metropolitan Hospital.
The posts are offered on a one-year fixed-term basis in the first instance, starting as soon as possible, with the potential for longer-term opportunities within the Trust, subject to performance and progress. These are ST3+ level posts (approximately 4–5 years post-qualification). Although not formally approved training posts, we aim to mirror the training opportunities available to doctors in training. The JSD rotation offers the opportunity to consolidate your medical experience within a supportive environment, with broad clinical exposure and training in a progressive Trust that has received numerous national and local awards.
Closing date: 10th September 2026
Interview date: 29th September 2026
We would be keen to work with successful applicants to design rotations that would provide exposure to the full range of Geriatric and General (internal) medicine to suit their training needs and career aspirations. We envisage that the JSD (Higher) would act as a stepping stone into specialty training in Geriatric and General Medicine. The candidate will also contribute to the General Medicine rota where they will carry out roles in line with a middle grade in medicine. This will include leading the acute medical take, reviewing and managing acutely unwell patients in ED, AMU and wards and leading the EMRT team.
