This service operates within a multidisciplinary team environment, encouraging all members to actively participate in patient care. Alongside maintaining these high standards, the unit is dedicated to research and aims to provide every patient with access to clinical trials, currently enrolling in seven different studies. Additionally, TOGU is a major contributor to the oesophageal cancer clinical and molecular stratification (OCCAMS) study. TOGU offers specialised tertiary referral services for OG conditions to a population of 2 million people in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, making it one of the largest OG cancer centers in Europe.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The main responsibility of this position is to provide adaptable support for OG lists, clinics, and endoscopy lists as needed. The post-holder is expected to assist with all departmental activities daily and will have duties specifically related to the OG department during this period. The successful candidate’s schedule will vary weekly based on theatre case mix, staff availability, and expertise.
The post-holder is expected to teach junior team members basic laparoscopic procedures and participate in delivering an acute OG on-call system under the supervision of experienced consultant surgeons.
