Summary
A Vacancy at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.
The Department of Trauma & Orthopaedics seeks to appoint two Consultants in Trauma & Orthopaedics to the upper limb unit with a special interest in hand and wrist surgery. This will increase the department to a complement of eighteen whole time equivalent surgeons and two less than full time (20 Consultants total). One of the posts is to replace a current locum post and the other is a replacement for a retirement later this year. These posts are to focus mainly on the management of hand and wrist conditions, but if candidates have experience and interest in elbow conditions this would also be welcomed. Both posts are full time posts and are based on a 10 PA contract. Fellowship training in hand and wrist surgery is required. The posts include general trauma on call on a 1 in 16 rota and you would be expected to manage upper limb trauma with the other consultants in the upper limb unit. Specialist hand trauma is managed at our neighbouring trust, Bradford, in the Plastics unit and not at CHFT.

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.
Both posts are full time posts and are based on a 10 PA contract.
