Ministry of Defence (Defence Medical Services)
Part-time - Consultant Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) - Aldershot The closing date is 17 March 2026
We are Defence Healthcare Recovery Group (DHRG), and we are searching for a professional, resourceful and motivated individual to join our encouraging and friendly team. DHRG is an inclusive and dedicated organisation working hard to provide excellent care to our entitled personnel!
The successful applicant will be joining a dynamic multi-disciplinary team (MDT) of clinicians supporting the Defence Rehabilitation Service, which includes Primary Care Rehabilitation Facilities (PCRFs), Regional Rehabilitation Unit (RRU) and the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Stanford Hall (DMRC SH).
The aim of the RRU is to return service personnel to active duty where possible, and where not, to ensure they are able to achieve the maximum level of independence and function as they continue their clinical pathway.
Can you bring a positive contribution to our team culture at Aldershot? If so, we would love to hear from you!
This is a part time position, offering 16 hours per week.
You will feel valued as a Consultant within DHRG, receiving access to outstanding rewards and employee benefits including:
Main duties of the job You will be responsible for delivering the clinical leadership of the consultant-led specialist Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Sport & Exercise Medicine (SEM) service for Defence Rehabilitation, as part of the MDT within the RRU, in order to deliver a world class level of rehabilitation for service personnel.
There may be a requirement to run peripatetic clinics within reasonable travelling distance from the RRU.
About us Our success depends on our people our Whole Force regular and reservist military, civil servants and contractors, all working as one, working together seamlessly to deliver for us.
Our civil servants are a central part of this Whole Force, developing strategy, making policy, supporting ministerial decision-making and Parliamentary processes. In fact, with over 2,000 different roles working across 650 sites around the world, now really is an excellent time to join one of the largest, most exciting departments in government.
The Ministry of Defence is committed to attracting and retaining people from across the full range of backgrounds and enabling flexible ways of working as the norm. We offer maternity, adoption or shared parental leave of up to 26 weeks full pay followed by 13 weeks of statutory pay and a further 13 weeks unpaid, and paternity leave of 2 weeks full pay.
In return, you can expect a department that helps you learn and develop that recognises your expertise and contribution, both as an individual and part of a team.
If you've ever wanted to do more, see more, go further or be better, we have roles in more professions and vocations than ever before. Let's see where your future will take you, together.
Job responsibilities The duties and responsibilities of the role include, but are not limited to:
Selection Process The selection at sift stage will be based on your CV. At interview, you will be tested against the following Behaviours:
Further Information The sift will be completed within 10 working days of the vacancy closing date. Interviews will be held on a date to be confirmed.
There will be no reimbursement for any travel expenses for the interview.
All employees joining Ministry of Defence who are new to the Civil Service will be subject to a 6-month probation period (unless otherwise advised) effective from the employment start date.
If found successful for this position, you will be required to provide evidence of your immunity to Hepatitis B. Please note that evidence of your vaccination is not a proof of your immunity, but your serology levels will be required. Failure to provide sufficient evidence may result in the offer of employment being withdrawn.
To be considered for this role, qualifications and memberships detailed must be held in full, prior to submitting your application.
There is no requirement to deploy as this is met by our uniformed personnel, but you will form the continuity of care required by our patients when based at home.
The post does NOT offer relocation expenses (move of home, excess fares or temporary transfer). Non-Standard move applicants will be eligible for the full package, subject to eligibility.
As a result of the changes to the UK immigration rules which came into effect on 1 January 2021, the Ministry of Defence will only offer sponsorship for a skilled worker visa under the points-based system, where a role has been deemed to be business critical. This role does not meet that category, and we will not sponsor a visa. It is therefore NOT open to applications from those who will require sponsorship under the points-based system.
Should you apply for this role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.
This vacancy is part of the Great Place to Work for Veterans initiative.
The Civil Service embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity. There is a Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria.
If you need to advise us that you need additional help or reasonable adjustments for the recruitment process, please contact .
The Ministry of Defence requires all candidates who are successful at interview to declare any outside interests. These declarations will be discussed with successful candidates following the interview process and before a formal offer of employment is made, as some outside interests may not be compatible with MOD civilian roles. This will not, in the majority of cases, prevent employment in MOD, but it is a measure that must be taken to ensure that appropriate mitigations can be put in place to manage any potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest from the first day of employment.
The Ministry of Defence adopts a zero tolerance approach to unacceptable behaviours, which includes bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, and victimisation. You will not be eligible and will not be considered for this post if you have been dismissed from a role for such unacceptable behaviours within the last five years. This will also apply if you resign or otherwise leave a role but, because of an adverse decision, would have been dismissed for gross misconduct had you continued in that employment. Pre-employment checks will be carried out.
The Ministry of Defence is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for its staff which includes educating them on the benefits of not smoking, protecting them from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke and supporting those who want to give up smoking. Under the Smoke-Free Working Environment policy, Smoking and the use of all tobacco products (including combustible and chewing tobacco products) will not be permitted anywhere in the Defence working environment. The policy is Whole Force and includes all Defence personnel, contractors, visitors and other non-MOD personnel. All applicants seeking, considering, or accepting employment with the Ministry of Defence should be aware of this policy and that it is already in place at a number of Defence Establishments.
