We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team.

Detailed Job Description And Main Responsibilities

We’re looking for someone hardworking, eager to learn, and familiar with enhanced recovery protocols. While extended urological skills are a plus, they’re not essential—we offer excellent additional training to help you grow. Ideally, you will already have some familiarity with the specialty and surgical care group, ensuring a smooth transition into the role.

This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to gain valuable skills and bring enhanced knowledge back to your ward, improving overall service quality.

If you're ready to take on an exciting challenge and expand your expertise in Urology, we want to hear from you.
