We are looking for a full-time Consultant in Paediatric Rheumatology to join our award-winning multidisciplinary team at University Hospital Southampton (UHS). We are seeking a collaborative, enthusiastic and forward-thinking colleague committed to providing high-quality, family-centred care for children and young people with chronic rheumatological conditions.

You will join a regional specialist service comprising two paediatric rheumatologists, three nurse specialists, two physiotherapists, a clinical psychologist, a GRID trainee, and dedicated administrative support. We are a cohesive, motivated team with a strong culture of shared learning, innovation and continual service improvement.

Our service delivers specialist care across 14 partner hospitals in the Wessex region. Outreach patients account for around 50% of the clinical workload. We are one of only a few UK paediatric rheumatology centres using musculoskeletal (MSK) point-of-care ultrasound in routine practice. There is excellent opportunity for you to develop MSK USS skills with support and mentoring from the team.

We were proud recipients of the NRAS Best Paediatric Rheumatology Service award (2019) and WellChild Best Hospital Team award (2012), reflecting our commitment to clinical excellence and collaborative care.
