Senior Fellow Position at Manchester Adult Burns Centre and Manchester Paediatric Burns Centre
We are looking to appoint a new fellow into our long-running Senior Fellow position at the Manchester Adult Burns Centre (Wythenshawe Hospital) and the Manchester Paediatric Burns Centre (Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital). The fellowship, which has been running for over ten years, would be suitable for senior trainees who hold the FRCS(Plast) and are looking to develop advanced skills in the management of adult and paediatric major burn injuries, as well as receive mentorship as they finish their training and prepare for a role as a consultant surgeon with an interest in adult and paediatric burn care.
Candidates who are unable, for personal reasons, to work full-time are eligible to apply and, if successful, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis, in consultation with consultant colleagues.
Role Responsibilities
The post holder will play a pivotal role in the day-to-day running of the burns service:
- Acting as the most senior trainee on the unit
- Running the burns MDTs
- Coordinating the burns lists
- Undertaking ward care and surgical procedures on our patients with burn injuries
These duties will be under the supervision of the burns consultant of the day who will be available for all sessions, and the level of responsibility will be tailored to the post-holders’ abilities and training needs.
