Job overview


NUH is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated Senior Clinical Fellow at ST3 level or above to support our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department.

The post is for 12 months initially with the potential to extend.

Main duties of the job

This is an exciting opportunity to get excellent experience in OMFS including rotations in oncology and deformity sub-specialties. You will work closely with consultants, other junior doctors and multi-disciplinary teams.

The post holder will be part of the 2nd on-call rota alongside trainees and other fellows on a 1:6 basis and should therefore have completed core competencies, have full MRCS and have experience working within the NHS.

As NUH is home to the East Midland's Major Trauma Centre the post holder should be experienced in trauma management.

Working for our organisation

Every day, our teams at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) make a difference. We save lives, we improve lives and we usher in new life.

We are proud to play a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of people in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and our surrounding communities.


We provide a range of national and internationally renowned specialist services and we are at the forefront of new surgical procedures and research programmes.

We are home to the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre, the Nottingham Children's Hospital and in partnership with the University of Nottingham we host a Biomedical Research Centre carrying out vital research into hearing, digestive diseases, respiratory, musculoskeletal disease, mental health and imaging.


We have recently become home to the latest series of Channel 4's award-winning series 24 Hours in A&E, which takes a look inside one of the country's busiest emergency department at QMC and showcases the dedication, passion and skill of our teams.

This is an exciting time to join NUH and help support our future ambitions.

You would be expected to make yourself familiar with the processes of the audit cycle and to assess the role of audit in clinical governance and in improving patient care.
