Job responsibilities

Cambridge Childrens takes a new approach to healthcare. Treating children and young people from 0-25 years, the hospital will integrate cutting-edge technology with university research to treat the whole child. It will seamlessly integrate physical and mental healthcare, bringing expertise from these disciplines together under one roof and embed a holistic approach to treat the person, not just the patient. New methods for early detection will enable quicker and more accurate diagnoses to introduce preventative treatments for children and the adults they will become. Alongside state-of-the-art care, Cambridge Childrens will work in close regional partnership with local acute providers, Community Services, GPs and Social Care to deliver care closer to home.

Embedded at the heart of Cambridge Childrens will be a pioneering research institute dedicated to understanding the early origins of disease affecting both physical and mental health, shifting medical practice from reactive care to prevention. The goal is to better detect, understand and delay the onset of physical and mental health conditions ultimately, to prevent them from ever occurring.

This ambition will leverage the advantages of co-location on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC), the largest centre of life sciences and health research in Europe, and the vibrant Cambridge life sciences cluster combining start-ups, spin-outs, SMEs and large multi-nationals including AstraZeneca and GSK.

To note: This 24 month fixed term post will be hosted by Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) on behalf of the Cambridge Childrens project partners.

Interviews to be scheduled week beginning 13 October with further stakeholder panel with Campaign Board representatives to also be scheduled in late October.
