Senior Clinical Fellow in Haematology

NHS Medical & Dental: Senior Clinical Fellow

Job overview

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

This is a fixed term contract with the position commencing ASAP.

Please see below for detailed job description of the role.

Main duties of the job

This appointment is for one or more Senior Clinical Fellows in Haematology, based at Southampton General Hospital.

You will join the department of Clinical Haematology and participate in the management of patients with haematological disorders.

You will work within consultant-led subspecialty teams, alongside specialty registrars and other senior clinical fellows.

There may be the option to contribute to the haematology on-call rota depending on experience.

The posts are open to individuals with experience in internal medicine and/or clinical haematology.

The posts are available for 12-24 months initially to cover current service vacancies and will be based within subspecialty haematology teams. There may be opportunity to tailor to fit your interests, including if you're looking to pursue a career in haematology as well as post-CCT or if you've have undertaken haematology training overseas or wish to obtain specific subspecialty experience.

Working for our organisation

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.  

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme. 

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
