We are looking to appoint a Medical Oncologist with Special Interest in Gynaecology
This is a substantive appointment, based predominantly at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood, Middlesex but with commitments at the Luton & Dunstable Hospital. The post comprises 8.375 programmed activities (PAs) and an on-call commitment.
Mount Vernon is a well-respected cancer centre, providing care to over 5,000 new patients a year. It is currently run by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust (ENHT) and is in the process of merging with University College London Hospital (UCH), a leading tertiary cancer services provider. Mount Vernon will continue to provide high-quality care for cancer patients during the transition period, which is expected to complete by September 2025.
The cancer centre will move to an established local acute hospital site, with access to intensive care facilities, whilst remaining a separate cancer centre. A networked satellite radiotherapy service will be developed to enhance the provision of cancer care to patients in the north of the area. We welcome applications from those who would relish the opportunity to be a part of the development of a new state of the art cancer centre.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
