• Temporary part time (0.4 FTE until January 2026)

We’re looking for a passionate and forward-thinking Staff Specialist in Paediatric Endocrinology to join a progressive, multidisciplinary team at John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

You’ll play a pivotal role in supporting the health and well-being of trans and gender diverse young people, providing compassionate, affirming, and evidence-based care.

You’ll also benefit from being part of Hunter New England Local Health District, where we’re committed to excellence, sustainability, and professional development through strong ties with the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Medical Research Institute.
