Job overview
We are delighted to have the opportunity to offer one Locum Consultant Urologist positions for a period of 6 Months.
The Urology service is at an exciting crossroads at Lewisham & Greenwich Trust, whereby we are currently redesigning the service we provide to our patients of South East London. We have been successful in securing funding to build a state-of-the-art modern Urology Investigation Unit (UIU), to complement the recently opened Lewisham Surgical Hub (LSH) for all patients in the sector.
We are therefore looking for a motivated and skilled individual to join our busy, friendly, and innovative department. Excellent communication and team working is essential, particularly given that our consultants work across both our busy acute sites – University Hospital Lewisham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The successful postholder will be pivotal in making decisions on the future direction of the service, working closely with our colleagues at Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, so a prior background in leading service redesign would be a bonus (but not essential).
Whilst this position is fixed term in the first instance, we will be looking to further develop our workforce in 2026 as part of the LSH work.
Main duties of the job
We are seeking to recruit a full time, Locum Consultant Urologist to commence as soon as possible.
The postholder will be offered a 10 PA locum contract with Urology (theatre sessions on both sites/outpatient clinics) per week. The postholder will play an integral part in delivering and developing an excellent Urology Surgery service. The postholder will be responsible for the admission and ward care of patients, operate in theatres, run outpatient clinics, MDTs, initiate and complete Audits, and participate in Research Trials (ongoing as well as help initiate new projects).
This role will have 1:5 on-call commitments (see ‘about us’ section below for specifics).
The postholder need to have a major interest in Urology surgery and will provide support to the Junior Urology team within LGT.
The Urology department has an expectation that during this placement you will take part in clinical governance, M&M and present the findings to your colleagues and other departments.
The ability to communicate and work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team is vital. It is also anticipated that the successful candidates would contribute to increasing the regional and national profile of the department.
