Hospice Clinical Fellow Salary Scale: Clinical Fellow: £49,099 - £71,079 per annum pro-rata (dependent on experience)

9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday

Fixed Term until 2 February 2027

We are currently seeking a Locum Clinical Fellow to join our Medical team at St Columba's Hospice Care. Working weekdays (9-5) you will be largely inpatient based but work in the community setting is possible depending on needs and experience.


You will bring enthusiasm, excellent communication skills and teamworking abilities to the wider multidisciplinary clinical team.

Experience in Palliative Medicine is desirable but not essential and applicants must have full registration with the General Medical Council, with a current licence to practise.

Interested candidates are encouraged to discuss the post with one of our consultants, Dr Duncan Brown or Dr Lucy Baird, on 0131 551 1381.

For further details about the role, including a job description and application form please see the supporting documents attached below.

We would encourage you to apply early, as due to the short timescales we may review the applications prior to the closing date.

Are you looking for an exciting new opportunity to grow your skills and be part of a dynamic team? We’d love to hear from you!

Criminal Record Check: This post requires the post holder to have a criminal record check. An application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before the successful candidate can begin in post. The Hospice will pay/reimburse the cost of this check.
