Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery Fellow

This post is for a Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery Fellow to work within the Colorectal and General Surgery Unit at the Royal Berkshire Hospital alongside, and under supervision of, the colorectal consultants.

The Fellow will gain extensive experience in robotic and laparoscopic coloretal surgery and TAMIS procedures for early rectal cancer and complex polyps. However, the Fellow will be involved in all aspects of this service including cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and pelvic floor surgery. The department also undertakes a wide range of coloproctology procedures and runs courses in the modern management of haemorrhoids such as HALO Trilogy.

The fellow will be expected to be involved in all aspects of the Trust’s clinical and academic activities including operative and ward-based teaching of juniors including Core Surgical (CT) and Medical Specialty Registrars (SpR).

The position aims to develop competence in minimally invasive colorectal procedures and the Fellow will have the opportunity to work with a number of trainers during the year and will develop their skills in laparoscopic resections, TAMIS procedures, and robotic resections.

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.
