Are you looking to develop your career in Urology? Do you want to join one of the largest teaching hospitals in England? We have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Clinical Fellow to join our Urology department. The level of training available can be tailored from pre registrar/ST3 to senior trainee/post CCT level.

The current workforce consists of three SpR’s, three post CCT fellows (andrology, oncology, endourology), two clinical fellows (stone, general), a CT1, two FY1’s and a nurse practitioner team. Many of the peripheral hospital clinics and lists are performed by consultants alone and represent a huge untapped training resource. There are 15 urology consultants with interests spanning across the subspecialties of Urology.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London.
