Job description

This post has arisen due to consultant expansion in the department.

The post holder will be required to work in a hybrid rota including resident on call for obstetrics and gynaecology at the Women and Children's Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary.

The post holder will participate in the resident consultant on-call rota for Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Women and Children's Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary. Consultant expansion is underway, and the on-call model is evolving towards a sustainable structure with dedicated resident obstetric consultant cover supported by separate consultant on-call provision for gynaecology.

The post holder will join a team committed to delivering safe, high-quality, consultant-led care in accordance with national standards.The post holder will be expected to contribute towards supporting specialist services including Benign Gynaecology. Opportunities would be available to maintain colposcopy accreditation and contribute to service provision in this area.

Successful candidates would be encouraged to maintaining and improving governance within the department. The post holder may also be required to contribute to the Termination of Pregnancy service if they do not have a conscientious objection to providing this service.
