Consultant Paediatric and Adolescent Oncologist Opportunity
We are delighted to offer this exciting opportunity for a Consultant Paediatric and Adolescent Oncologist to join the paediatric oncology team within the Children and Young People’s Cancer Service. This is a fixed term position of 12 months to cover Maternity leave.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled colleague to join our team delivering expert care to children and young people with cancer. Specifically, we are looking for someone with a demonstrable interest in late effects. The role will also include supporting clinical oncologists to deliver proton-beam radiotherapy to external patients – in a complementary area of specialism e.g. brain tumours, rare tumours or sarcoma. Attending and on-call cover of paediatric oncology and teenage in-patients is a core part of the post.
