Locum Urology Consultant with Specialist Interest in Female and Functional Urology
The Urology Department at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust is looking for a Consultant Urologist with specialist interest in Female and Functional urology to join our fantastic team based at the Royal Bolton Hospital. This is a fixed-term locum position to complement our already well-established team of Urology Consultants.
We are a forward-thinking department, which strives to provide a service that is continually improving for our patients and staff alike. You will be working alongside experienced Consultant colleagues, who work very closely as a team in the truest sense of the word. Our Urology Theatre, Day Surgery Ward provision, and Diagnostic Suite are located together, in the Bolton Centre of Urology (which was designed with the needs of the Urology patient in mind); and this has created a very flexible working environment for the entire Urology team to facilitate the smooth running of both elective and emergency work.
The successful candidate will be expected to have an interest in female and functional urology and to support the team in the provision of core urology services.
We operate the Consultant of the week model with each Consultant undertaking 1 hot week with out-of-hours cover and 1 cold week only covering the closed-site inpatient emergency work during normal working hours. With this arrangement, the successful candidate will be participating in a 1:14 hot week on-call rota.
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 is a LOCUM post initially for 12 months with a view to extend. We are looking to recruit a candidate who has a special interest in Female and functional Urology but will also work in General Urology.
