Clinical Fellow Higher (ST6+) in Haematology (Cellular Therapies/BMT)

The closing date is 26 December 2025.

Applications are invited for the posts of Clinical Fellow (Higher ST6+) in Haematology (Cellular Therapies/Blood and Marrow Transplant) at Addenbrooke's Hospital, part of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH).

• Post 1: 06 May 2026 until 04 May 2027
• Post 2: 02 September 2026 until 31 August 2027

This is an exciting opportunity to join our established clinical team and participate in the running of our Cellular Immunotherapy (CAR‑T cell), Stem Cell Transplantation and Haemato‑Oncology Services.

Main duties of the job

You will be responsible for the management of patients throughout the whole pathway from referral to recovery, from the administration of cellular immunotherapies to stem cell transplants. Experience will be available in all aspects of cellular immunotherapy and BMT, in inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory care settings. There will be opportunities to undertake audit and analysis of outcomes and other data for publication.

In order to be considered applicants must meet the essential criteria of having MRCP/FRCPath or equivalent qualification and a full registration and Licence to Practice with the General Medical Council at time of application.

You must have completed at least three years’ full‑time postgraduate training (or its equivalent gained on a part‑time or flexible basis), at least one of which will be in a specialty training programme in Haematology, Oncology or Internal Medicine or the equivalent experience.

Please note that these posts do not carry Postgraduate Dean’s approval or training recognition.

About us

The applicant must have demonstrable skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking in English that enable effective communication about medical topics with patients and colleagues, as set out in the GMC’s Good Medical Practice (2013). Non‑UK applicants must possess the IELTS/OET exam before obtaining a GMC licence to practice.

Applications from job seekers who require skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. For further information please visit the UK Visas and Immigration website.

It is a requirement for skilled worker applicants, applying for entry clearance into the UK, to present a criminal record certificate from each country they have resided continuously or cumulatively for 12 months or more in the past 10 years.

Job responsibilities

This would be an ideal post for an ST6+ Haematologist to develop a specialist interest in all aspects of cellular immunotherapy and stem cell transplantation in a busy CAR‑T and transplant centre.

The successful applicants will rotate between Cellular Therapies and Blood and Marrow Transplant and will provide cross‑cover for absences.

Within the Trust there is an increasing focus on cellular therapies with several clinical trials as well as standard NHS commissioned therapies. The enlargement of the Cambridge Cellular Therapy Laboratory into new purpose‑built facilities will allow the manufacture of novel CAR‑T products on site in due course. There are strong academic links with the University of Cambridge research programmes in Haematological Malignancy and Cancer Immunology. It is expected that post holders are GCP trained, and take part in clinical trials work.

The Department of Haematology at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust offers the full range of clinical (levels 1‑4) and laboratory Haematology. It acts as a Tertiary Referral Centre for complex cases and serves as routine service for local patients.

Strong links exist between the Clinical Service, the academic department and the Haemato‑Oncology Diagnostic Service. The roles will also require collaboration with regional hospital colleagues.
