Are you a motivated and capable General Surgery registrar looking to develop your skills in a high-performing tertiary centre? UCLH is seeking an ST5-level (or equivalent) surgeon to join our Gastrointestinal Services Division for a 12-month Registrar position. An interest in colorectal surgery is welcomed but not essential. This role offers broad exposure to complex GI and colorectal pathology within a supportive, academically active environment, alongside full participation in service delivery and training.

The successful candidate will gain valuable experience in advanced colorectal surgery, peri-operative decision-making, and multidisciplinary care, while working alongside leading clinicians in the field.

Who Are We Looking For?

We welcome applications from candidates at ST5 level or above, or those with equivalent experience, in General Surgery. You must hold (or be eligible for) full GMC registration at the start of the post.

Essential attributes include:

• Experience in General Surgery, with or without a defined colorectal subspecialty interest
• Good operative and peri-operative decision-making skills
