The successful applicant will be based at Aintree University Hospital, one of the Trust’s key sites, and will become an integral member of the Vascular Surgery department. The department is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care, and the post holder will play an active role in the ongoing development of clinical services, education, research, and service improvement initiatives. ### Main duties of the job Applicants must hold Membership or Fellowship of one of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons (UK), or equivalent qualification, and be fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC), possess a current licence to practice, and be listed on the GMC Specialist Register for Vascular Surgery, or be eligible for inclusion within six months of the interview date. The post holder will be a key member of the multidisciplinary team including vascular surgeons, anaesthetists, resident doctors, therapists and specialist nurses.  Appropriate infrastructure is provided including dedicated office space. Contribution to formalised MDT meetings as well as involvement in morbidity and mortality meetings and governance structures is compulsory. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The Directorate of Vascular Surgery currently comprises 15 surgeons working flexibly to support the network. With this and additional appointments the number will raise to 18. Each consultant has an elective job plan which involves sessions at one of our network sites, in addition to sessions at the Aintree site Hub. A total of 16 Consultants will contribute to the acute/on-call work and they participate in complementary “C1” and “C2” rotas during which they are free of any elective commitments. Friday afternoon is set aside as a Directorate session which begins with the forthcoming weekly plan at 1.30 and a review of all inpatients and patients requiring urgent surgery. The rest of the afternoon consists of a rolling programme of audit, teaching, clinical governance, directorate meetings, research presentations and invited guest lectures. The successful applicant will become part of the Peripheral/General vascular team with a total of 10 Consultants contributing. They will undertake work at both Aintree University Hospital and one of the network spoke sites. They will participate in the daytime C1 rota at Aintree. Applicants with a special interest in the management of peripheral arterial disease including endovascular, open and hybrid surgery are particularly encouraged to apply with scope to be involved in the specialist lower limb team, who contribute to dedicated Chronic Limb Threatening Ischaemia (CLTI) clinics, inpatient management of CLTI and deliver dedicated endovascular operating lists in the peripheral hybrid operating theatre. Additional specialist interests particularly in deep venous intervention or thoracic outlet syndrome would be strongly supported with surgeons joining dedicated teams within the unit further stimulating subspecialisation. General vascular surgeons with a broad interest will also find the breadth and complexity of work within LiVES stimulating fulfilling. ## Person Specification ### Knowledge **Essential** - High clinical standard for independent Consultant practice **Desirable** - Understanding of GMC's Good Medical Practice guidelines ### Managing Self **Essential** - Able to take responsibility, make decisions, and apply authority appropriately - A commitment to the highest standards in clinical care and service and personal development - Must be able to demonstrate and model the key Trust Common Purpose ‘Getting it right for every patient every time’ and the Trust values of  Delivering safe compassionate care  Improve through learning and innovation Communicate honestly and Openly  Work as a team  Use resources wisely  Value each other **Desirable** - Commitment to high standards in care - Positive approach to lessons learned - Alignment with Trust values ### Leading People **Essential** - Strong but collaborative leadership abilities, within the multidisciplinary team, across the Trust and in an interagency context - Experience of implementing service change to enhance the quality of patient care - Ability to provide consultant level leadership Experience of and ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams - Evidence of leadership skills within multidisciplinary teams. - Evidence of leadership skills within multidisciplinary teams - Ability to organise own workload and prioritise clinical needs - Understanding of NHS, Clinical Governance, and risk management - Able to assess, contain and manage clinical risk and support colleagues in managing risk - Ability to act as mentor to junior medical staff - Act as a role model - Able to demonstrate management skills - Demonstrates an approach based on critical enquiry, evidence-based practice, and the development of practicebased evidence **Desirable** - Strategic thinking, risk management, innovation, mentoring and leading multidisciplinary change ### Qualifications **Essential** - Entry on GMC Specialist Register;
