At UCLH (University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), our success starts with you.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the largest and most successful Foundation Trusts in the UK, with an international reputation and a tradition of innovation.

Based in the busy West End of London, we offer a lively and vibrant working atmosphere with quick and easy transport links to all our sites. Our size and resources enable us to provide attractive benefits and unparalleled education and development opportunities for staff at all levels. These include a broad range of academic and clinical courses, from personal development to clinical excellence and leadership training. UCLH is committed to investing in staff career development and staff health and wellbeing.

We are pleased to offer this exciting opportunity for a full-time Junior Doctor ST1/2 (equivalent to CT1/2 level) to join the Head and Neck Surgical specialties. The post is expected to commence in August 2025 on a 12-month contract, with a possibility of extension.

While advertised as Trust Junior Doctor ST1/2 posts for Head & Neck, we welcome applicants interested in more specific roles in Maxillofacial Surgery or ENT Surgery, depending on individual interests and training needs.

The post holder will provide care for patients in Head and Neck, Maxillofacial, and ENT specialties. The rota offers the opportunity to gain significant Head and Neck Cancer experience, including reconstructive free flap surgery (around eight major cases per month), facial trauma, and aesthetic facial surgery.

Applicants will be encouraged to participate in teaching, research, audit, and service improvement projects within UCL, tailored to individual development needs and service requirements.

The on-call rota is a full-shift system covering Maxillofacial and ENT admissions, with all eight Trust junior doctors participating.

We encourage applications from medically qualified Junior Trust doctors (equivalent to CT1/2) interested in pursuing a career in Head & Neck Surgery.

UCLH is one of the UK's most complex NHS trusts, serving a diverse population. We provide academically led acute and specialist services to local, national, and international patients. Our vision is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education, and world-class research.

We operate across eight sites:

• University College Hospital (including the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing)
• National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery
• Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals
• University College Hospital Grafton Way Building
• Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine
• University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre

UCLH specializes in complex illnesses, including women’s health, cancer, infections, neurological, gastrointestinal, and oral diseases. We also have world-class support services such as critical care, imaging, nuclear medicine, and pathology.

We are dedicated to sustainability, aiming to become a carbon net zero health service. Our targets are to achieve net zero emissions for direct emissions by 2031 and for indirect emissions by 2040.
