We have 1 fixed term appointment available for 12 months from February 2024 in the Clinical Oncology department. This is an excellent opportunity within Clinical Oncology at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.


The Trust will also look to support those doctors who are considering a career in Clinical Oncology by providing on-going training and the opportunity to participate in the Trust's active Postgraduate teaching programme in a modern Postgraduate Centre on the hospital site.

In addition, staff support, and mentoring is also available.


East and North Hertfordshire NHS trust is committed to providing the highest standards of Clinical Oncology care and developing the increasing specialisation and provision of Oncology services across the trust sites.


We are seeking to maintain and expand the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre staff as we move to an exciting new future.

The post is full-time and the post holder will be expected to participate in the general medicine rota.


The post holder will provide care for cancer in-patients and will be closely supervised by the oncology consultants and specialist trainees.

The post holder will also gain invaluable experience in state-of-the-art radiotherapy techniques and will have the opportunity to enhance their e-portfolio.

At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees.

This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests.

Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
