Want the ultimate work life balance whilst developing your CV?
The Clinical Fellow posts in Ysbyty Gwynedd can give you the lifestyle you dream of whilst you further your career interests.
These posts allow you to experience a surgical specialty, time to build your CV and to develop your interests outside of work. You will have an educational supervisor, a healthy study leave budget and fantastic training opportunities. Bangor University has very close links with the hospital.
Main Duties of the Job
These posts are not part of a national core training scheme but will offer similar training opportunities to clinical fellows at CT level. A comprehensive teaching programme will provide access to protected consultant led teaching opportunities.
We are an exciting diverse department, with ample exposure to trauma and elective activity, which becomes increasingly busy during peak holiday periods. The post holders will be encouraged to undertake research as well as audit projects, with access to a generous study budget, supported by the Orthopaedic clinical team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
