Applications are invited from enthusiastic and motivated doctors for the post of Senior Clinical Fellow (ST3+ Equivalent) in Neurosurgery within our dynamic regional Neurosurgical Department. This post offers an excellent opportunity for a registrar-level doctor to develop advanced clinical and operative experience within a high-volume tertiary neurosurgical service.
The successful candidate will work alongside experienced consultant neurosurgeons and multidisciplinary teams, contributing to the delivery of comprehensive emergency and elective neurosurgical care. The post is designed to support the development of operative skills, clinical decision-making, leadership, education, and research, making it an ideal opportunity for doctors preparing for national training, fellowship, CESR, or consultant practice.
Although this is a non-training post, the department has a strong commitment to education and professional development, with opportunities to participate in teaching, audit, quality improvement, and clinical research.
Note: For the 6 months fixed-term contracts, the actual contract duration will be adjusted to account for the time taken to advertise the post, complete the hiring process, and finalise pre-employment checks. This means the contract will begin when the candidate starts the role and may be slightly shorter.
