About the Role
We are looking to recruit a surgeon to specialise in shoulder elective surgery as well as general and subspecialty orthopaedic trauma management.
Although this is a locum post, there is a strong possibility that this will lead to a substantive post in the near future as we seek to expand the department in preparation for the New Elective Centre within the hospital.
About the Service
The outpatient service for this service is a multidisciplinary clinic with input from physiotherapy, podiatry, radiology and sports and exercise medicine consultants and registrars. This service has grown over the past 24 months and the work associated with these clinics has led to a greater demand for our services.
Role Details
This post will work with 10 other orthopaedic consultants and be part of the trauma and orthopaedic team at the Homerton Hospital. This post is part of the strategic plan to build on the success of our Trauma & Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine service.
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.
