    Description

    Job summary

    Applications are sought for a substantive appointment of a General Surgeon with an interest in colorectal surgery to join an established and successful team of seven colorectal surgeons working at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. This is a replacement post with ability to support services including IBD, endometriosis surgery, Gynae-oncology, Complex abdominal wall reconstruction and proctology. The successful candidate will be part of a team of 14 consultants for the provision of emergency general surgery. We are currently in partnership with St Mary's Hospital, Isle of Wight. It is envisaged that the Trusts will merge, and the new appointee will be expected to work across both sites as part of their job plan.

    Training and experience in a tertiary referral centre for colorectal disease will be preferable, and a higher degree, colorectal publications, ongoing colorectal research interest and robotic colorectal experience will be looked upon very favourably. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of dynamic colorectal team and an advanced robotic colorectal platform. Being a competent surgeon entails more than just operative skills, and evidence will be sought as to the appointee's clinical judgement and team working.

    Main duties of the job

    This is a replacement post for a permanent consultant, aimed to maintain and develop services within our unit. The post will support the busy on-call rota with increased consultant on-site involvement. Advanced minimal access surgery and/or robotic surgery experience in colorectal surgery is of particular importance. These posts are based in the Lower GI surgical unit to work very closely with 7 consultant colleagues on a day-to-day basis to cover general aspects of lower GI work. We aim to appoint a well-trained specialist in Lower GI surgery with sufficient general surgical experience to manage general surgical emergencies. Training and experience in a tertiary referral centre for a colorectal disease will be looked upon very favourably. Ability to work very flexibly as a team member with existing colleagues is essential.

    Please note the attached documents are pending Royal College approval.
