Job Overview

Here in Jersey, we have our own Health Care system, separate from the NHS. We are looking to develop and improve our healthcare services towards a modern, fully digitised and future‑proof system, in advance of our new hospital (planned to open in 2029). To do so we need fresh eyes, new ways of working and the next generation of consultants to make our healthcare the best it can be. We aim to provide high quality, safe and effective care to the 110,000 people living on the Island and those who visit. The hospital benefits from a fantastic educational centre with a full SIM lab and dedicated time for all to learn.

Aligned to the Wessex Deanery, we support and develop Foundation trainees as well as Clinical Fellows and SAS doctors. We encourage all our consultants to fully engage with the education and training of our future generation of consultants.

Health and Care Jersey is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic substantive Consultant in General Medicine with an Interest in Respiratory Medicine to join our already passionate consultant body. Jersey is easily accessible from most regional airports in the UK and has good links with NHS tertiary centres especially in Southampton and London, which affords the successful candidates to maintain links within the NHS and the private sector. To support your transition to Jersey, we can provide a generous relocation and remuneration package, which is benefited by lower taxation than within the UK.

The Government of Jersey is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable people (to include children) and requires all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As this position will work with vulnerable people, the selection process will involve safeguarding measures and include an enhanced DBS check.

Interviews for this post will be held on Tuesday 17th February 2026, and there will be a pre‑interview engagement day on Monday 16th February 2026. You will be required to attend both in person. Please make note of these dates.

For an informal discussion please contact Dr Hopkins (Interim Chief of Service), by emailing [e-mail]. For any recruitment related queries, please contact Sol Bradbury (HR Consultant), by emailing [e-mail]
