Job overview

This is a one-year, fixed-term fellowship offering exceptional operative exposure, with the Fellow expected to participate in more than 400 otological cases over the fellowship year.

 

The post has a strong emphasis on modern minimally invasive otology, including:

  • Endoscopic ear surgery
  • Cholesteatoma (primary, revision and complex disease)
  • Advanced tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty
  • Canal wall up and canal wall down mastoid surgery
  • Paediatric and adult complex ear pathology
  • Hearing reconstruction and outcome-focused surgery

The Fellow will receive structured consultant mentorship, progressive operative autonomy, and opportunities for teaching, research and service development.

This is not a recognised training post but is equivalent in educational value to an ST7/8 or post-CCT fellowship.

Main duties of the job

Key Responsibilities

  • High-volume elective otology operating lists with a focus on endoscopic techniques
  • Otology outpatient clinics (adult and paediatric)
  • Inpatient ENT care and multidisciplinary working
  • Participation in the senior ENT on-call rota
  • Supervision and teaching of junior doctors
  • Active involvement in audit, governance and quality improvement

Working for our organisation

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. 

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission. 

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care. 

We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance. 

We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.  

The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
