About the role

Are you an experienced doctor with a passion for developing others and delivering exceptional patient care? At Montu, we are looking for a Medical Team Lead to join our growing Clinical team, combining clinical practice with the opportunity to lead, mentor and develop a team of doctors. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys supporting others, has experience providing clinical guidance and supervision, and is confident in building strong working relationships with clinicians and consultants. You will play a key role in supporting the professional development of our Junior Clinical Fellows (JCFs), helping them build confidence, develop greater clinical autonomy and deliver safe, high-quality patient care. As we continue to grow, this is an opportunity to bring your clinical expertise and leadership skills into an evolving area of healthcare, helping to shape and support the next generation of clinicians while making a meaningful difference to patients' lives. What is the job? As a Medical Team Lead, you will provide day-to-day leadership, support and guidance to a team of clinicians, ensuring they are well-supervised, well-supported, and progressing safely towards greater clinical autonomy. You will act as the primary link between clinicians and consultants, coordinating supervision, escalation pathways, and feedback loops so that patient care stays safe and consistent. You will combine your own clinical practice with people leadership, taking ownership of fellow development, consultant engagement, governance, and training within your team, while working alongside other Team Leads to keep standards consistent across the wider service. You will be the first point of contact for JCF’s requiring guidance on professional or personal development and appraisal or revalidation.
