Job Summary
This is a full-time Junior Clinical Fellow Post in the Plastic Surgery Department created in response to service need. This is a 6-month post from 5-Feb-25 to 5-Aug-25.
A candidate who is unable for personal reasons to undertake the duties of a whole-time post will receive equal consideration. If such a candidate is appointed, the job content will be modified as appropriate in consultation with consultant colleagues and local management.
We welcome all applications irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion. Additionally, people with disabilities will be offered an interview providing they meet the minimum criteria for the post. The Trust operates job share and flexible working.
Main Duties of the Job
The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals.

The appointee will be part of the resident doctor team providing medical care for inpatient, day case, outpatient, and emergency plastic surgical patients.
