The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an enthusiastic full-time Consultant Neurologist to join their team in Reading, aimed at enhancing the Neurology service across the West of Berkshire. This role involves primarily outpatient work and addresses the increasing demand for neurology clinic appointments. Newly qualified applicants will receive support from an experienced neurologist during their initial phase. The trust encourages the development of a specialist interest to complement existing services and is eager to introduce clinics that are typically only available in tertiary centres.

Candidates must hold a CCT in Neurology or be within six months of accreditation by the interview date. The position is flexible, welcoming both full-time applicants and those seeking to job share. Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Marko Bogdanovic, the Lead Neurologist, for further discussions or to arrange a visit. Important dates for this recruitment process include a simulation on February 7, 2025, and interviews on February 19, 2025.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Consultant Neurologist to join our existing team of Consultants and Specialist Nurses to support the Neurology service provided across the West of Berkshire.

For newly qualified applicants, a second on-call senior neurologist will be rostered until the new starter is fully established in the consultant role.

Please note the Simulation date is the 7th February 2025 and the Interview date is the 19th February 2025.

This post represents an addition to enhance the Neurology Services across the West of Berkshire and in particular help meet the rising demand for neurology clinic appointments. This post is full-time (10PA) and predominantly Out Patient based.

We will encourage the successful applicant to develop a specialist interest to expand or complement the existing service. Mentoring and development opportunities will be available to recently qualified applicants in the fields represented by our existing senior consultants, but we would also welcome the addition of new specialist interests to complement the existing services. We are keen to see clinics normally only available in tertiary centres become at the RBH for the benefit of our patients.

Applicants who are unable to work full-time for personal reasons are invited to apply, as are those wishing to job share. Applicants are required to hold a CCT in Neurology or be within six months of accreditation by the interview date.
