Summary

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Department of Urology at Leicester General Hospital as a Specialty Doctor. The post is designed to offer a flexible and supportive working environment, with a combination of fixed clinical sessions alongside the opportunity to contribute to service delivery through cross-cover of colleagues’ sessions.

The successful candidate will participate in the Urology on-call rota (1:9), providing support for adult emergency urological care across the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The on-call service is structured to ensure robust consultant support, enabling the delivery of safe, high-quality care for patients presenting with acute urological conditions.

You will work closely with the on-call consultant and the wider multidisciplinary team, playing a key role in maintaining high clinical standards, patient safety, and effective service delivery across the pathway.

This is a 12-month fixed-term post, offering an excellent opportunity to develop clinical experience within a busy and progressive urology service.

The appointee would be expected to perform the duties as laid down in the job plan which will consist of 8 clinical sessions 1 administration & 1 educational session. The timetable will be totally flexible and the successful candidate may be asked, at short notice, to perform a different duty, e.g. theatre session instead of a clinic, when service needs dictate.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:

• high-quality care for all,

• being a great place to work,

• partnerships for impact, and

• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,

• we are proud,

• we are inclusive, and

• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
