Job description

Job responsibilities

Here at the Cancer Centre, we aim to provide first class, high quality care for all of our patients in a friendly and professional setting. Our services have received national recognition and praise and our patients benefit from the latest and most innovative treatments available, such as Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, real-time adaptive radiotherapy, high dose rate brachytherapy and a mobile community infusion suite. We also deliver a full range of diagnostic nuclear medicine tests to both adult and paediatric patients, as well as providing a comprehensive Molecular Radiotherapy service (including I-131 for benign and malignant thyroid disease).

We have a close working partnership with the private Radiotherapy provider adjacent to the Trust, run by GenesisCare. This brings opportunities for Clinical Oncologists to access the MR Linac for not only private patients, but NHS patients.

We value the expertise of our skilled staff, and will support your professional development through dedicated SPA time, pursuing CPD opportunities and encouraging participation in clinical research. We aim to provide a supportive and collegiate working environment, where teams and individuals alike can reach their full potential. The cathedral city of Guildford offers excellent leisure, cultural and sporting facilities, is close to the stunning Surrey countryside, and is only 40 minutes by train to London.

We are looking for candidates who are on the Specialist Register for Clinical Oncology (or within six months of CCT date for resident doctors), have expertise and experience in Urology tumours, have a strong commitment to providing high-quality patient care and continuous professional development, and excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Whether you are applying for your first Consultant job or are an experienced Consultant seeking a new challenge, we look forward to hearing from you.
