With our brand new Comprehensive Cancer Centre (The Dyson Cancer Centre) opening April 2024 this is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and ambitious oncologist to join our cohesive and committed team. We are recruiting a 10PA substantive consultant oncology colleague with specialist interest in breast and colorectal cancers as a new expansion post.  You will be joining a dynamic and friendly team of oncologists who deliver excellent local care and input into many and varied national roles.

This 10 PA post (8.0:2.0 DCC: SPA split) provides full oncological systemic services for patients with breast and colorectal cancers. There is scope for part-time working for applicants wishing to work less than 10 PAs and potential for some flexibility on tumour sites. For first year Consultants there will be a reduction in Outpatient Clinic commitment to a 7.5:2.5 DCC: SPA split with mentoring to enable new consultants to find their feet, build confidence and relationships within the department and the wider Trust.

Consultants currently provide an out of hours on call service shared within 1:8 weeks rota during which they advise the Acute Oncology Service during the day, supervise the inpatient ward and take out of hours calls Monday to Sunday. They also support the SpRs covering the Oncology Ward inpatients and helpline at the weekends.  With this phase in consultant expansion the on call commitment will reduce and with future expansion of medical oncology posts the role of Clinical Oncologists in Acute Oncology will be reduced with increased focus on radiotherapy delivery. It is anticipated that new consultant colleagues will undertake approx.150-200 new referrals per calendar year, depending on demand. 

A commitment to CME and maintaining professional expertise is essential. Attendance at meetings and courses to support this is embedded in the department’s culture.
