Job overview
Do you share our Health Board values; Caring for each other; Working together; Always improving? If so, we would love for you to come and work for Swansea Bay University HB.
We are looking to appoint a junior clinical fellow based at Morriston and Singleton hospitals, Swansea within the Department of Gynaecological Oncology. The post is ideal for junior trainees who want to gain valuable clinical experience and want to enhance their CV prior to applying for specialty training positions. The start date is in line with February 2026 rotation and the post is for 6 months, extendable to a year subject to funding. The post holder will play an integral role working as part of the surgical multi-disciplinary team and will join a dedicated group consisting of 2 Consultant Gynaecological Oncologists, 1 senior fellow, 1 junior clinical fellow, 1 surgical care practitioner and 2 clinical nurse specialists.
The post is not limited to candidates seeking a career in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and we would be interested in any enthusiastic trainee who is aiming to improve their clinical and academic CV before applying for their chosen specialty.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will directly support all aspects of the management of gynae-oncology patients, including assessment of outpatient and emergency referrals; decision making at the MDT; ward management (admission, perioperative care, ward cover, and discharge including high-dependency/ITU); attendance at clinics (pre-assessment and outpatient clinics) as well as theatre operating. The Swansea gynae-oncology centre treats a high volume of patients with complex operative and perioperative needs including multi-visceral resections for advanced ovarian cancer and pelvic exenterative surgery for locally advanced or recurrent gynaecological/ urological and colorectal cancers. There is also a high volume of advanced laparoscopic surgery. The post-holder will be assigned solely to the department of gynae-oncology and as such there is no obstetric commitment.
The post is 40 hours per week with no on-call commitment, but opportunities for locum cover do exist within the department if the post-holder wanted to explore other opportunities and experience. Additional duties should be discussed with the clinical lead before confirmation with the department.
