University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
The rota is well-supported with experienced nurse practitioners as well as junior doctors. The post is to work alongside our 'run through' neurosurgery trainees and be treated equitably. While the post is initially being offered a 12-month contract, we would look to extend the post if appropriate.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
You will be actively involved in the on-call and care of emergency neurosurgery patients as well as weekly clinic and MDT meetings and attending elective operating sessions and academic meetings.
Study leave will be granted to allow attendance at courses pertinent to advancing neurosurgery training towards CESR, and local courses are available for enhancing leadership, teaching, and interview skills in preparation for consultant appointment. The post is offered as full-time with on-call under the supervision of the Neurosurgery consultant team.
