Consultant 5PA/50% part time jobs
Hi All
Currently an ST6 in Gastro, mid-late 30s, first kid on the way.
I enjoy the job but have no interest in pursuing it full time once I have completed speciality training.
I’ve focused on other interests and hobbies quite successfully throughout training so that full time work will be optional for me within the next couple of years.
I’ll probably still need £3-4k per month from part time work to lead the lifestyle that I want. Wife doesn’t work.
How easy is it to get a 50%/5PA part time consultant job in a department? What does this pay? Or would some kind of SAS role or locum endoscopist role be better suited?
I want to work max 2-3 days per week, or a full week maybe once or twice a month.
I enjoy ward/endoscopy and a bit of clinic but I don’t want to do it full time.
Any thoughts on if this is possible? What’s the consultant job market like now out there? Are part time consultants wanted, or only really job openings for full time?
Thanks for any advice
