A Vacancy at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
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.
The post is offered as full-time with no on call under the co-supervision of Mr Paul Grundy and Mr Andrew Durnford. You will be actively involved in the weekly combined neuro-oncology clinic and MDT meeting and attend regular operating sessions and academic meetings. You will gain experience in all aspects of surgery for primary and secondary intrinsic tumours, including day-case surgery, high-volumes of awake neurosurgery, insular gliomas, intraventricular tumours and meningiomas. Additionally, there will be opportunities to be involved in combined procedures with plastic surgery involving extensive reconstruction following tumour resection, using transposition and microvascular flaps. During this year you will be often working at consultant level, managing an oncology waiting list, running lists and clinics independently as well as under supervision. This will help a transition from trainee to fully independent consultant practice.
Study leave will be granted to allow attendance at courses pertinent to neuro-oncology and local courses are available for enhancing leadership, teaching and interview skills in preparation for consultant appointment. Audit and research activities in the department will be encouraged.
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.
• Maintenance of the highest clinical standards in the management of Neurosurgical oncology patients in line with NICE improving outcomes guidance.
• To share with colleagues’ responsibility for the day-to-day managements of the neurosurgical oncology patients
• Support the teaching and training of junior staff and medical students
• To have responsibility for ensuring active participation in continuing medical education (CME)
• To actively participate in both departmental and Trust matters concerning Clinical Governance and audit

• Fulfil duties of weekly timetable
• Run weekly neuro-oncology OPD lists alongside colleagues
• Participate actively in weekly neuro-oncology/SRS MDT meetings

For an overview of the position, please refer to the attached Job Description and Person Specification document. This includes a detailed breakdown of the key responsibilities, role expectations, and the qualifications we are looking for. It outlines the essential criteria for the role and is designed to support you in preparing your application by helping you evaluate how your skills, experience, and professional background align with the requirements of the role.
