We offer highly regarded health services, employing some 10,000 staff. Our ambitious £250m estates programme is well on the way to delivering state-of-the-art facilities over the next two years to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the populations we serve.

We especially welcome applications from minority groups in the community who may be underrepresented in our workforce.
At UHD our active staff network groups are the Women's Network, Black Asian Minority Ethnic Group (BAME), Pride Network, European (EU), Pro Ability Staff Network, and the Armed Forces Support Group.
As a Trust we are proudly signed up to the Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant guaranteed interview schemes.
Job overview
The Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine is a core member of the sub-regional combined Rehabilitation Medicine and Neurology Department based at the Poole Hospital site. This department was formed in 1994 on the appointment of the recently retired Dr JPS Burn. There has been substantial expansion of the department leading to the establishment of a 12 bed Specialist Neurological Assessment and Rehabilitation unit on Portland Ward comprising five NHS England 2a specialist rehabilitation beds and a variable number of CCG funded specialist rehabilitation beds now under the care of Dr Katharine Fairbairn, Consultant in Stroke and Rehabilitation Medicine. The Rehabilitation Medicine service covers the county of Dorset through a network of community rehabilitation teams and specialist nursing homes as well as conventional outpatient and specialist clinics. The inpatient service is at a point of transition following the merger of Poole and Bournemouth Hospitals with an anticipation of significant expansion on the Poole Hospital site.
This post offers a unique opportunity to influence the further development of an already well-established and highly regarded service in a beautiful part of the country.
