Job description: Here at IMG we are pleased to announce that we are looking for a Medical Director based out of our Redhill Office working either Remotely or on a Hybrid basis with a competitive salary of £140,000 – £160,000 (Depending on Experience).

Every second of every day, vacationers, those working or living abroad for short or extended periods, people traveling frequently between countries, and those who maintain multiple countries of residence use our products to give themselves global peace of mind®.

The UK Medical Director is an essential part of the wider medical team supporting IMG’s business. They support all assistance operations in the UK and US as well as participating in the on call rota on a 1: 3 basis (actually two weeks on call in every six weeks). They support the nursing staff in their decision making, claims in complex medical assessments, the DBA team in the management of return to work and MMR determinations and a variety of other activities as required.

In the broadest terms, the Medical Officer’s responsibility is supporting IMG’s Chief Medical Officer in the delivery of clinical services. These are provided by doctors and nursing officers from various locations in the US and UK. The successful candidate will be expected to periodically travel to our medical and operational hubs in Indianapolis USA, Cardiff and Redhill in the UK and elsewhere as new services and products are developed and so proximity to Redhill, Cardiff or Indianapolis, is preferable.

Physicians in the company have a leadership role and we expect direct involvement in case management, documentation and decision making both within and, when on call, outside office hours.

There is a ‘one in three’ on call rota to take referrals from our Operations and Medical teams. Throughout these periods it is expected that Physicians are proactive, document their discussions with treating teams abroad, give clear direction and escalate cases to the Chief Medical Officer when required. They will also assume direct responsibility for the clinical aspects of transfers being undertaken during these periods.
