Senior Clinical Fellow

We are looking to appoint a Senior Clinical Fellow to commence as soon as possible; appointments are for a 1 year fixed term period in the first instance with the possibility of a further 12 month extension.

Although the posts are non-training grade, there will be direct Consultant supervision and an educational programme including annual appraisal, 4-monthly supervisor meetings, access to an e-portfolio and relevant study leave. There will be a specific programme of protected teaching and a wide range of other clinical training activities.

Postholders are encouraged to undertake audit and quality improvement projects. They will also be supported to pursue Membership examinations in their chosen specialty. There will be options to develop formal teaching or research

The post offers excellent experience in General Surgery and would be suitable for someone who has completed Basic Surgical Training and is looking for an opportunity to widen their experience prior to moving on to Higher Surgical Training.

Opportunities exist within the Directorate for postholders to conduct clinical research. Furthermore the posts would be ideal for anyone wishing to undertake further academic study, eg MsC/B.Ed and protected study time can be built in the job plan accordingly.
