Senior Clinical Fellow in Otolaryngology with Interest in Head & Neck

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is looking to appoint a Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Fellow. This is a fixed term post for a duration of 12 months. The post holder should be post CCT. They must have experience of working within the NHS and be able to demonstrate a good command of the English language. Candidates are encouraged to visit the Department after short listing and should contact Mrs Lisa Fraser or Mr Rajeev Mathew on .

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a high-volume prestigious head and neck centre, providing both secondary and tertiary level care. As a tertiary referral centre, the department manages major complex head and neck cases across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon and Milton Keynes. This includes both malignant and complex benign work., The successful candidate will have a central role in the management of head and neck patients both in clinic, on the ward, decision making in the MDT and operating. There are opportunities to become involved in research as well as NIHR studies.

Our goal is to extend the candidate's surgical competency to that of a safe independent practitioner working within a head and neck multi-disciplinary team. On completion of the programme it is intended that the Fellow will be fully prepared to assume a Consultant position in a tertiary head and neck unit.

Surgical responsibility during the year will be tailored on a personalised basis depending on the candidate's progress, with progressively increasing responsibility in major cases. Teaching of registrars will be an important component of the Fellowship, in preparation for assuming a future Consultant position.

The successful candidate will have an initial meeting with their educational supervisor, and a discussion regarding objectives. Regular informal trainer feedback and periodic, formal evaluation of progress will occur within the fellowship. It is expected the candidate maintains an operative log during the fellowship, as well as further evidence when available e.g. patient feedback, reflective practice.
