Summary

Senior Clinical Fellow - Plastic Surgery

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital are looking to recruit a Senior Clinical Fellow to join the Plastic Surgery Department.

The post is available as a fixed term contract. We require a self- motivated, career-focused professional individual who can demonstrate dedication to an on-going career within Plastic Surgery. The appointed person will be required to work fully within the department, and take advantage of the opportunities available to undertake audit or other research opportunities that the Department presents.

The post holder will work at the Senior level (ST3+), and therefore must have the clinical skills to manage patients and operate independently, particularly within the context of emergency on-calls.

This post will sit on the 2002 doctors agreement, and would be a good fit for an individual who is seeking further experience to progress to ST3 appointment or similar, offering invaluable experience within the key specialty areas of hands, burns and craniofacial surgery.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of England's top-performing and safest trusts. We operate two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital—along with award-winning clinics across North West London.

Our nearly 7,500 staff care for a diverse population of 1.5 million, providing full clinical services, including maternity, A&E, and children’s services, plus specialist HIV and sexual health clinics. The Care Quality Commission rates us 'Good' in safety, effectiveness, care, and responsiveness, and 'Outstanding' in leadership and resource use.

We continually invest in our facilities, including a £30m expansion of critical care at Chelsea and Westminster and an £80m Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex.

We welcome applications for flexible working arrangements, accommodating requests where possible to support our staff and patient needs.

The Trust is committed to equality and welcomes applications from all, regardless of background. Adjustments can be made for disabled candidates. Early application is advised as vacancies may close once sufficient applications are received. If you haven’t heard from us within three weeks of the closing date, your application was likely unsuccessful. Employment is subject to a six-month probationary period.

Some roles may require weekend shifts at multiple sites.

• Lead daily morning ward round, handover and junior supervision

• Lead evening ward rounds and hand over with night staff when on call

• Coordination of the trauma lists

• Hand trauma / Plastic Surgery trauma operating lists

• Assisting Consultants with operating theatre lists on request

• On-call (Registrar on-call rota)

• Attending out-patient clinics on request

• Responsibility for the pre and post-operative care of all patients admitted as emergencies and under the team.
