Summary

A Vacancy at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is pleased to invite applications for a substantive General Surgery Surgeon with a sub-specialty interest in Benign Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery based in the Department of General Surgery. This is a permanent, full-time post comprising 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) per week.

This post offers an exciting opportunity to join a progressive, collaborative and forward-thinking General Surgery department. The post has been developed to support service expansion and to ensure continuity in the delivery of high-quality elective care. We are seeking to appoint a consultant with prior Upper GI/Hepatobiliary training and anticipate that the successful appointees will be able to undertake a broad range of elective and emergency procedures from an early stage in their appointment.

The appointee will also be expected to contribute to the Emergency General Surgery (EGS) service as required to support the effective running of the department. They will undertake routine cholecystectomy and, where clinically appropriate, contribute to the delivery of ‘hot cholecystectomy’ as part of the department’s acute biliary service.

In addition, the postholder will be expected to undertake a broad range of general surgical procedures in line with their experience and the needs of the service, including hernia surgery and the management of benign lumps and bumps.

Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is an integrated acute and community provider serving the diverse population of Hackney and the wider Northeast London (NEL) Integrated Care System. The Trust is rated 'Outstanding' overall by the CQC and is recognised for innovation in pathway redesign and digital care. Homerton University Hospital is a busy district general hospital and the main acute site, providing emergency and elective services in surgery, medicine, women's health, paediatrics and a wide range of specialty services.

The provisional job plan is for 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) per week. This is detailed in the indicative timetable below. The job plan will be reviewed at the annual job planning round and a formal review will be undertaken within 6 to 12 months of appointment, in line with RCS England guidance and the Trust's job planning policy. Elements of the timetable may be subject to change due to a Trust-wide reconfiguration of the theatre and outpatient schedule; any such changes will be managed in accordance with service requirements and the Trust's job planning policy.
