UHBW DOCTOR BANK

The Trust is looking to recruit suitably qualified doctors to work across all grades and specialties of work, ranging from a single shift to filling a more long term rota pattern with evening, weekend and on-call shifts available.

As this is ‘Bank’ work, it is on an ‘as and when’ basis with no guaranteed hours, however it does offer doctors increased flexibility by selecting shifts to work around their lifestyle.

Bristol Royal Hospital for Children is a purpose built Children’s Hospital in the south west of England located in the Centre of the beautiful and historic city of Bristol.

Within a Trust that has been recently awarded ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children (BRHC) is one of the most established and cutting-edge Children’s Hospitals in the UK.  We are proud to be a tertiary referral centre for a variety of specialist conditions covering the south west of England and south Wales.
