Summary
We are hoping to appoint a Trust Doctor in Trauma and Orthopaedics at Core Trainee level at Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.
The posts are intended to provide additional experience in Trauma and Orthopaedics to enable a more informed career choice for the future and to enable successful application into a Core Training (CT1-2) or Specialty Training (ST1-2) position in Trauma and Orthopaedics.
Whilst this is not a recognised training post, every effort is made to provide the postholder with all the opportunities to train and help further their career.
The post holder will participate in the first on call rota for trauma and orthopaedics. They will be responsible for the T&O in-patients and have opportunities for dedicated training in elective and emergency theatre alongside specialist and general fracture clinics.
We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.

There is a comprehensive induction and regular weekly teaching with the intention that the service commitment, supervision level and educational opportunities will be equivalent to that of our existing trainees and is equivalent to a training post in every way.
Our department is renowned for the training and support.
Each post carries an educational commitment from the Department of T&O. Every junior doctor is given an Assigned Educational Supervisor and a Clinical Supervisor and is expected to complete regular workplace-based assessments to ensure that portfolios are kept up to date and subsequent applications into formal national training schemes have a higher chance of success.
In addition, there are a number of research and academic opportunities available for successful candidates. There are several ongoing audit projects and original studies.
