Job description

About the role

Looking for a rewarding surgical career in a breathtaking location?

“Generalism is our Specialism”, Manx Care provides a comprehensive general, colorectal and vascular surgical service to an isolated rural Island with a population of approximately 85,000. Join our team on the Isle of Man as a Consultant in General Surgery, delivering high-quality general, colorectal, and vascular surgical care in a well-supported environment. With strong links to leading UK teaching hospitals, you’ll work alongside a committed team dedicated to exceptional patient care.

As the Isle of Man is an isolated Island, our surgical Consultants cover a wide range of general surgical conditions so they can assess what can be done locally (without necessarily operating) and make decisions on when to transfer patients to specialised centres in the UK. In emergency life threatening situations, they may need to make surgical interventions on Island rather than transferring patients to the UK. Therefore, our general surgical doctors need to have basic general surgical skills to enable them to cover general surgery, as well as the out of hours general surgical parts of different specialities such as urology, vascular, thoracic, paediatric.

Use your expertise to lead clinics, manage trauma cases, and mentor junior doctors while advancing surgical services and research. Enjoy generous study leave, career progression, and an unmatched work-life balance in a truly unique setting.
