Job description

Senior Locally Employed Doctor Obstetrics & Gynae (Education Fellow)

The closing date is 09 December 2025

Applicants are invited to apply for the post of Education Fellow in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Wythenshawe Hospital. We are seeking doctors wishing to gain more experience in general Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a level expected of an ST5+ trainee, working closely with the Consultants and multidisciplinary team. This post has been designed so that the successful candidate will gain invaluable experience whilst working in busy tertiary and secondary care settings. This is a 12 month contract.

Main duties of the job

The purpose of the Education Fellow post is to enable interested ST to develop an interest in undergraduate or postgraduate medical education. Trainees will work with undergraduate and postgraduate consultant leads and the director of SMMCS PGME to develop and deliver education programmes across the ORC and NMG campuses.

The Clinical Fellow will work on the Tier 2 on-call rota, and as such will take on the responsibilities associated with this role, which is equivalent to that of a ST5+ trainee. The Clinical Fellow will be supervised by a consultant. The Clinical Fellow will need to respect the roles of others within a multidisciplinary team and communicate with them appropriately.
