Consultant in Diabetes & Endocrinology

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is inviting applications for a Consultant in Diabetes & Endocrinology to join our team at Scarborough Hospital Site on a permanent basis.

The closing date is 25 July 2026

Are you an enthusiastic, motivated Consultant looking for an opportunity to help shape and transform a Diabetes and Endocrinology Service? We are looking for a consultant to join our team at Scarborough Hospital Site on a permanent basis.

This is a time of transformation of our department as we work towards a consultant of the week model. Our service is evolving to include teaching and research opportunities which makes this an interesting time to join us and be part of our team.

You will join a multi-disciplinary team providing a broad range of outpatient services across Scarborough, Bridlington and Malton. The catchment area encompasses both Coastal and North Yorkshire Moor areas, serving a diverse patient base.

Our range of services includes:

• Insulin pumps
• Antenatal care
• Transition services
• Diabetic foot clinics
• MES and endocrine testing
• Development of inpatient care

We work closely with the well-established service at York, with access to fortnightly endocrine MDT, fortnightly adrenal MDT, weekly diabetes and pump MDT, and a pituitary MDT hosted at Hull.

We encourage you to arrange a site visit to see our department, meet the team, and learn more about our plans for the future.

Interviews for this role will take place on 11th August 2026

Main duties of the job

You will join our existing team of three Consultants as we develop both inpatient and outpatient diabetes and endocrinology services.

You will share inpatient ward responsibility, aiming to be a duty week rota. Significant opportunities exist to lead and develop key areas, including diabetes technology, antenatal care, and the multidisciplinary diabetic foot service.

The post includes a commitment to the General Medicine on call rota, currently a 1 in 16 pattern averaging around one weekend every two months and a monthly weekday evening cover.

We welcome whole time, part time, and job share applications, and are committed to supporting flexible job plans. We will work with you to agree an activity commitment that suits both you and the service.
