We are recruiting for a Consultant in Clinical Oncology who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.

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

The post holder will be expected to work with members of the lung SABR and breast teams delivering SACT, radiotherapy and outpatient clinics at Mount Vernon.

At the St Albans Hospital site, the post holder will work closely with the breast multidisciplinary teams to provide a safe and high quality outpatient oncology service.

The successful post holder will have special interests in Lung and Breast cancer and will be based at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre and St Albans City Hospital.

This is a substantive post compromising programmed activities (PAs) and an on-call commitment (1:26).

This reorganised post is available immediately to provide site specific services to the local population and surrounding areas. Out-patient duties will be based at St Albans and Mount Vernon, with radiotherapy and SACT delivery at Mount Vernon.

The post holder will specialise in the management of lung and breast malignancies, joining established dynamic teams of surgeons and oncologists.

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

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients.

We continue to undergo significant transformation; our staff & patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

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

Employees are entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns & we are committed to listen and consider all requests.

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