Background
This SHO post is for 6 months from 07/10/26 - 06/04/27 and is part of a 12 people SHO team who work on a 12 weeks rotation schedule throughout various clinical activities such as ward cover, on call days and nights, trauma and other clinical activities. At present this post does not have educational approval. It is however a position in accordance with recent college guidelines on extending the length of basic surgical training to three years. It will be most suited to a trainee who is working towards obtaining BST and MRCS and also needs more overall surgical/orthopaedic experience before applying for a research or registrar position.

THE WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Hillingdon Trauma & Orthopaedic department is run by 15 Consultants. 13 of these run the trauma service over a 15 week rolling rota. On their non-trauma weeks, they run an elective service alongside the remaining 2 consultants. There is a 30 bedded Orthopaedic Ward currently catering emergency patients at Hillingdon. A short-stay Orthopaedic speciality ward at Mount Vernon Hospital is part of the department, catering only for elective patients. There is also a Day Case surgical unit on each of the two hospitals to which all Consultants have access with other specialities. There are beds as required on a separate paediatric unit.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There is a wide range of general elective orthopaedics undertaken, the Consultants covering most of the elective orthopaedic sub specialities. For trauma, each Consultant’s ‘take’ is for one week at a time. There is a daily morning x-ray conference followed by a trauma round and then a new patient fracture clinic. In the afternoon there is also an all-day operating list for trauma patients that have been admitted. This provides an excellent opportunity for teaching and experience. The department is fully equipped for modern trauma management.
