University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

Please see below for detailed job description of the role.

Are you looking to develop your career in Urology? Do you want to join one of the largest teaching hospitals in England? We have a fantastic opportunity for an Senior Clinical Fellow to join our Urology department. . The level of training available can be tailored from pre registrar/ST3 to senior trainee/post CCT level.

The current work force consists of three SpR’s, Three post CCT fellows (andrology, oncology, endourology), 2 clinical fellows (stone, general), a CT1, two FY1’s and nurse practitioner team. Many of the peripheral hospital clinics and lists are performed by consultants alone and represent a huge untapped training resource. There are 15 urology consultants with interests spanning across the subspecialties of Urology.



As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.



We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.



Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.



We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At the more junior level you would get great benefit from the short stay and day case lists that occur in Lymington and at the Royal South Hants hospitals, as well as the experience of more complex procedures at University Hospital Southampton. The provision of a consultant of the week will allow excellent training and support, particularly for emergency work, and by the end of a year we hope to have transformed you into an excellent candidate for specialist training. For trainees at this stage, UHS has an excellent record in transitioning fellows onto National Training Number(NTN) posts and conversation with previous fellows is encouraged.

A more senior candidate would benefit from exposure to the more complex operating found at this University Hospital. We provide high volume uro-oncology including Robotic Prostatectomy, Cryotherapy and HIFU, Radical Cystectomy and pelvic exenteration, Radical (incl IVC involvement)and partial Nephrectomy, Testis, RPLND and penile cancer. We provide tertiary andrology for Wessex and have a high volume stone unit, including paediatric stones and an onsite lithotripter. Our benign service includes many treatments for male LUTS including TURP, bipolar, HOLEP, PAE and Urolift.

YOU WILL:

• Work with the Consultant, GPSI and nursing team providing specialist urology services, specifically delivering outpatient clinics, carrying out surgical procedures and completing the related administration.
• Undertake research and audits related to your subspecialty attachment.
• Work as part of the wider urology team to provide general urology inpatient, elective and on-call (1 in 7 rota) duties.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

The post would suit candidates who have completed basic training and wish to pursue a career in urology or more senior trainees looking for subspecialist training. The successful candidate would take part in the 1:7 middle grade on call rota.

This includes a detailed breakdown of the key responsibilities, role expectations, and the qualifications we are looking for.
