We’re seeking a dedicated Consultant Oncologist who is ready to be part of something bold. We are recruiting a 10 PA substantive consultant oncologist who has specialist interest in Breast and Skin cancers. You will be joining a dynamic and friendly team of both established and new oncologists who value teamwork and input into many national roles. You will be based in our state of the art Dyson Cancer Centre which opened in 2024 at the RUH. It was purpose-built to change the way we deliver cancer care. This flagship facility is more than just bricks and mortar - it’s a place of hope, innovation, and healing - and now we have this opportunity for a dedicated and ambitious oncologist to join our cohesive team who is committed to providing the local population with excellent care.

There is scope for less than full time working for applicants wishing to work less than 10 PAs. For first year consultants there will be a reduction in outpatient clinic commitment with mentoring, including a new consultant induction programme, to enable new consultants to find their feet, build confidence and relationships within the department and wider trust. Why come and join us? - You'll be based in the brand-new Dyson Cancer centre designed by patients, staff, and the future of oncology in mind - You'll be part of a growing and supportive team who have a strong multi-disciplinary ethos - There'll be opportunities to shape services, develop sub-specialty interests, and get involved in teaching, research, and innovation - We have strong academic links and collaborate with regional networks and universities - You'll be joining a Trust that values its people, with wellbeing, development, and flexibility built into our culture.
