In addition to practicing primarily within critical care, you may also provide general clinical cover to the inpatient wards as required. Experience in VFSS and FEES would be beneficial. Although the role is advertised at 0.6 FTE, with upcoming movement on the team and other potential opportunities, there may be the option to consider more hours for the right candidate so we encourage all those interested to apply.
