Medical Director within 3 months of starting in post. A full-time job
plan is based on a 10 PA working week. The job plan will be reviewed
annually and is a prospective agreement that sets out the consultants
duties, responsibilities, and objectives for the coming year. It
covers all aspects of a consultant’s professional practice including

when a further diary exercise is undertaken or if the service demands
a review of the team job plan.

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 with the Trust in consultation with other consultant
