Contract Type: Perm

Location: Holborn London, Hybrid Working available

Part-Time (3 days per week)

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) is the governing and regulatory body for horseracing in Great Britain. It is the BHA’s role to act for, and on behalf of the whole sport, ensuring that the highest standards apply on and away from the racecourse. It is responsible for promoting, and regulating the sport, which is at the heart of a major leisure and entertainment sector, a leading betting product and the focus of an important breeding sector.

With the impending retirement of the current Chief Medical Adviser (CMA), the BHA has taken the opportunity to re-assess the CMA role itself and redefine the delivery of both clinical and regulatory services. The new structure and approach will ensure the highest standards of care and address future demand and challenges.

As a result, we are now looking for two CMAs on a three-day per week basis, operating as a job share, each working 21 core hours (9am to 5pm) and providing out of hours cover on a rota basis.

The new structure will ensure the delivery of excellent clinical care, built in resilience and a more flexible role for the new CMAs, which will allow them to continue with a mixed portfolio of healthcare work.

Please note that successful applicants must be willing to travel to any given British racecourse, stay overnight for one or multiple nights, and be flexible and able to work on weekends, evenings and bank holidays when required.
