As an organisation, we recognise the value of a healthy work-life balance. When applying, speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate flexible working, so your work life fits around your home life.
We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as they are under-represented within the Trust.
An opportunity has arisen to join the Departments of Haematology & Oncology at University Hospitals Bristol NHS Trust. Applications are invited for the post of Clinical Fellow in Haematology and Oncology within the Division of Specialised Services.
There are between 2 and 4 posts available, all for 12 months starting 6th August 2025. There will be at least one post based mostly on the oncology ward, and one based mostly on the haematology ward, though the post holders will be expected to move between teams at times and may be required to work in the BHOC same day emergency care (SDEC). The remaining posts will move regularly between the teams. Applicants can indicate in their application if they would prefer to be mostly based on the haematology or oncology ward or would prefer to rotate between the areas. One of the posts may have a fixed on-call rota (this will be confirmed to applicants by the interview date).
The remaining posts have no fixed on-call commitment initially, but the post holder will be expected to join a 1:10 on-call rota during the year should a long-term gap in staffing occur. This includes evening, twilight and night shifts during weekdays and weekends. Appropriate notice periods will be given for any change to on-call requirements.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will be responsible for the care of patients on the Haematology and/or Oncology wards (D603 and D703), including oncology, general haematology, and bone marrow transplant patients. Attendance at various outpatient clinics, MDTs, and meetings is encouraged by the consultants, and the post holder will have allocated clinic days for this. The post holder can gain experience in performing procedures including ascitic and pleural drains, bone marrow biopsies, and lumbar punctures.
