Chelsea and Westminster Hospital: Chelsea Centre for Gender Surgery
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital has been commissioned by NHS England to provide gender-affirming surgical treatment for individuals experiencing gender dysphoria. As part of this commitment, the hospital established the Chelsea Centre for Gender Surgery (CCGS), a leading facility delivering high-quality, evidence-based care for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals.
CCGS offers a full range of gender-affirming procedures, including lower masculinising surgery, lower feminising surgery, and masculinising chest surgery. The service is founded on principles of innovation, equity, and person-centred care, ensuring that patients receive equal access to surgical services regardless of gender identity. Reasonable adjustments are made to accommodate individual needs and circumstances.
As a Consultant Urologist with a specialist interest in Gender Affirmation Surgery (GAS), the post-holder will have demonstrated experience in genitourinary surgery, as well as operate independently in masculinising lower surgery and related surgeries, as well as experience in feminising lower surgery.
The role will require close working with other colleagues in the Trust as well as allied organisations as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to quality improvement, research and management of the service. It is anticipated that the post-holder will engage in specific management tasks and contribute to service meetings as required.
Our Trust is one of England's top-performing and safest trusts. We operate two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital—along with award-winning clinics across North West London.
Our nearly 7,500 staff care for a diverse population of 1.5m, providing full clinical services including maternity, A&E and children’s services, plus specialist HIV and sexual health care. The CQC rates us Good in safety, effectiveness, care and responsiveness, and Outstanding in leadership and resource use.
We continually invest in our facilities, including a £30m expansion of critical care at Chelsea and an £80m Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Mid.
We are delivering sustainable healthcare through our Green Plan. In line with Greener NHS ambitions, we aim for net zero carbon emissions by 2045. Achieving this requires collective effort. We encourage staff to reduce their impact on carbon, waste and pollution wherever possible. Every action counts to create a healthier, more sustainable future.
We are committed to equal opportunities and believe diversity drives innovation and excellence. We welcome applications from the global majority, veterans and underrepresented communities, valuing the perspectives they bring.
If you haven’t heard from us within 3 weeks of the closing date, your application was likely unsuccessful. Employment is subject to a six-month probation.Some roles may require weekend shifts at multiple sites.
The post holder will have the following duties:
· Deliver outpatient clinics, diagnostic procedures and theatre lists to support the service
· Attendance at MDT meetings
· Participation in audit, research and governance activities of the department
· Supervision of academic research projects
· Ensure compliance with national commissioning standards and waiting time targets
· Support subspecialisation in the department by appropriate cross referral to colleagues
· Provide consultant care at an early stage to patients presenting to secondary care with presumed urological complications of gender surgery
· Contribute to the routine care of GAS inpatients, rotating this responsibility with colleagues

· Provide a timely and sustainable service for trans people that meets the needs of the population, and incorporates the views of individuals.
