Consultant Dermatologist - Maternity Cover
Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to invite applications for a 6.5 PA Consultant Dermatologist to provide maternity cover within our friendly, dynamic, and expanding Dermatology Department.
This fixed-term post is available for 9 months, with the possibility of extension to 12 months, commencing ideally in September or October 2026.
This is an excellent opportunity for a consultant seeking to gain experience within a highly supportive London teaching hospital and to become part of an ambitious, forward-looking department.
In addition to this maternity cover post, Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will shortly be advertising two substantive Consultant Dermatologist posts, with interviews expected during Autumn 2026.
The successful applicant will therefore have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of working within the department before deciding whether to apply for a substantive consultant position. Should the successful applicant subsequently be appointed to one of the substantive posts, the remainder of the maternity leave would simply be covered by another locum consultant.
