University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) Specialty Doctor Posts in Emergency Medicine
University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) invites applications for full-time, permanent Specialty Doctor posts in Emergency Medicine, working across Poole Hospital and the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
The successful candidate will be a Senior Decision Maker (SDM) within the Emergency Department, responsible for complex clinical decisions, supervision of junior staff, and leading the department during night shifts when no consultant is present.
This is a 10 PA post: 8.5 Direct Clinical Care (DCC) and 1.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPA). The Trust can provide a Certificate of Sponsorship for Tier 2 visa applicants, and overseas EM experience will be recognised when determining the starting point on the Specialty Doctor pay scale.
UHD has a strong history of supporting doctors through CESR, with many progressing to substantive consultant roles. Successful applicants may join a structured CESR programme, which includes tailored development plans, rotations in key acute specialties (Critical Care, Anaesthetics, Acute Medicine, Paediatrics), and mentorship from CESR-qualified consultants. Participation is optional for candidates choosing to pursue training routes instead.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
