The Breast Surgical Unit seeks to appoint a locum oncoplastic breast surgeon to supplement our team of 5 Consultant Surgeons who provide specialist elective oncoplastic breast surgery, and 4 providing specialist endocrine surgical services. The locum consultant will help to develop the elective oncoplastic breast surgery provision across the whole of Teesside, working collaboratively with colleagues in South Tees under the joint group structure of executives leading the Trusts. This post holder will further bolster the significant inroads that have already been achieved in improving both the breast screening services and oncoplastic breast service provided by the Trust and in future throughout Teesside. This post is available on a fixed term basis for 12 months.
The successful candidate must have had specialist training in oncoplastic breast surgery including tissue displacement, mammoplasty, mastopexy, adipofascial flaps, implant based reconstruction, latissimus dorsi reconstruction and lipomodelling. There will be the opportunity to work with Consultant Plastic Surgeon colleagues for free flap surgery. Experience of working with screen detected cancers is also essential. A Fellowship in oncoplastic breast surgery would be advantageous.
At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.
We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition – a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.
We recruit for values and “Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”
This is an exciting time to join University Hospital Tees to help redesign the workforce across the whole of Teesside. We are a high volume unit (800 - 900 cancers per year) with a strong MDT, research participation and regional influence. The successful candidate will be required to supervise and train numerous trainees from the Deanery along with MCh breast fellows and core trainees.
