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.

Applications are invited for a full-time Senior Clinical Fellow in Nutrition and Intestinal Failure at University Hospital of Southampton (UHS). This is an exciting training post and opportunity to work within a thriving multidisciplinary nutrition team in a large Integrated Intestinal Failure centre, commissioned to provide Type 2 and 3 IF care to patients from a wide area of Southern England. The post can be tailor made to your training needs but has a focus on inpatient and outpatient management of patients requiring enteral and parenteral nutrition support.

We are looking to recruit to two posts: one on a 6-month fixed term to start ASAP and another on a 12-month fixed term starting in September.

This post can be tailored to suit an interested doctor prior to gastroenterology training, as an out-of-programme-experience during training, or post-CCT.

The UHS gastroenterology department is a large, busy, academic, tertiary referral centre for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Intestinal Failure, neuro-gastroenterology and Complex Endoscopy. The Nutrition Team consists of specialist nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, 4 Consultant Gastroenterologists and 3 Intestinal Failure Surgeons.

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.

- You will be a key member of the multidisciplinary team, involved in inpatient and outpatient care of patients requiring intravenous nutrition and hydration support including those with type 2 and 3 Intestinal Failure.
-The post offers a wealth of experience in complex tertiary gastroenterology
- The opportunity to be involved in other subspecialties of gastroenterology, as determined by your interest - these could include neuro-gastroenterology or endoscopy, for example.

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.
