Senior Clinical Fellow - Orthopaedic Trauma
We are looking for a Senior Clinical Fellow to join the Team at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, to be able to start as soon as possible for 5 months until Feb 2027 (with potentially a view to extend a further 6 months).
This post would be a participant on a 1 in 11 middle grade rota in a MTC, and would provide an excellent opportunity for a suitable person wishing to increase their experience in the management of Orthopaedic Trauma in a Major Trauma Centre and complex sub-speciality care.
You will be required to work across both our hospital sites, Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley District General Hospital.
This post is not formally approved for training and would also provide a study leave budget for attendance at national trauma courses and conferences.
There are a number of opportunities available to the candidates to enhance their portfolio with logbook, CBD, DOPS, Teaching, Audit, and Research etc. The Directorate has a very successful record of previous candidates being successful in CESR application.
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.
