Locum Consultant in Dermatology – 12-month contract (Maternity leave cover commencing October 2026)
We are seeking a Locum Consultant in Dermatology to join our friendly, supportive team, which includes 11 consultants, a consultant/associate specialist, two specialist registrars on the Yorkshire rotation, hospital practitioners, a Physician Associate, GP trainees, Advanced Nurse Practitioners in skin cancer, and specialist nursing teams for chronic disease and skin cancer.
Our service has dedicated dermatology theatres and facilities for PDT, phototherapy and patch testing, with day case theatres available for complex surgical procedures. Nurse-led services include dermatological surgery, leg ulcer and lymphoedema management, cryotherapy, drug monitoring, skin cancer diagnosis and follow-up. The skin cancer CNS team supports patients through follow-up clinics, and the department works closely with Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery and Rheumatology.
The post is primarily based at York Teaching Hospital, delivering general dermatology services across York, Selby, Scarborough, Bridlington and Malton. An active teledermatology service supports advice and guidance and new patient referral triage.
In-patient services are provided at York and Scarborough through a daytime dermatology on-call rota, supported by electronic referrals and remote review.
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.
This role provides general/specialist outpatient clinics and surgical lists plus contributing to the consultant on call rota. Outpatient clinics are at York Hospital and one peripheral East Coast hospital.
You will join a well-established and collaborative department, focused on excellent, person-centred care. Within the Trust we are part of Clinical Support and Cancer Services Care Group, which includes most specialist medicine services. We have a Clinical Director responsible for all services.
Individual job plans will be discussed with the post holder on appointment, with the Clinical Director to finalise the job plan which will become operational on commencement. All jobs’ plans are agreed in line with the Trusts Job Planning Principles.
As a department we are committed to supporting flexible job plans and will work with you to mutually agree your activity commitment. We have opportunities to explore teaching, research and quality improvement projects to enhance our service.
We strive to support your leadership and development in role and would be keen to discuss development pathways and subspecialty interests; ensuring activity is allocated within your job plan to achieve this.
