Job summary
Senior Clinical Fellow in ENT (ST3+ level)
The Senior Clinical Fellow role is a key role within the wider ENT team. It serves as a vital development link between Trust Doctor level and junior Specialty Doctor level. This role will offer a surgically inclined candidate the opportunity to progress from a junior doctor to a specialty doctor in ENT in a supportive environment. The post holder will be expected to contribute and undertake activity at junior middle grade level. Whilst this post does not directly contribute to the 1:6 emergency junior doctor rota, it is expected that the post holder will undertake junior doctor emergency shifts including resident on-calls weekdays and weekends where necessary. The post holder will also have regular supervised activities at middle grade level to further develop their skills and expertise within the ENT specialty including undertaking clinics and delivering procedures and emergency activity.
The post will help run and manage the elective, cancer, inpatient, and emergency workload within the ENT service and will form part a team of other junior and middle grade doctors working with the consultants, and nursing teams, covering a wide range of ENT areas including paediatrics.
This is a key role within a busy DGH hospital delivering a wide range of treatments as well as emergency services where there will be plentiful developmental opportunities and will be expected to work weekdays and weekends as rostered.
