Job Opportunity: Hospital Specialty Doctor
Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint a full-time Hospital Specialty Doctor based at The Northumbria Hospital and supporting the delivery of our trust-wide service on a fixed-term basis for 12 months.
About the Role
Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is committed to assisting all employees to achieve a work-life balance, regardless of their personal circumstances. Any applicant who is unable, for personal reasons, to work full-time, will be eligible to be considered for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis in consultation with the Head of Service.
The post will be flexibly time-tabled to meet the demands of the service and the timing of the sessions may change as the service develops. The specific content of the job plan will be agreed with the individual candidate appointed into the post.
Consultants, Speciality Grade Doctors, Specialty Doctors, Trainees, and Advanced Clinical Practitioners all provide direct clinical care for children referred to hospital. You will be part of the Paediatric senior out-of-hours rota which has been developed to comply with EWTD. This will involve providing resident cover in the evening and at weekends with the potential of some night shift working. This is a full shift rota which is integrated with Resident Doctors and Advanced Clinical Practitioners to provide a flexible workforce that matches fluctuating demand across the 24-hour period.
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.
