Senior Clinical Fellow in Robotic Urology (3 roles: Prostate, Renal, Bladder)

Nodal Point 4 - £61,825 p.a excl. LZ

Fixed Term – 12 months

Full Time – 40 hours per week

Estimated Start Date: October 2026

Please at the beginning of your supporting statement specify which of the three roles you are applying for: Prostate, Renal, or Bladder.

Please note that successful completion of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is our accepted minimum language requirement.

Main duties of the job

There are 3 themed disease specific positions:

• Prostate cancer: focusing on robotic radical prostatectomy and prostate diagnostics.
• Renal Cancer: focusing on robotic and open partial nephrectomy and nephrectomy.
• Bladder Cancer: focusing on robotic and open radical cystectomy including neobladder.

We are looking for three flexible, hard working and dedicated trainees to undertake this high profile role as a Senior Robotic Fellow in Urology.

You will have good core skills in Urology and will be keen to develop skills in Robotic surgical techniques working alongside and assisting the Consultant Surgeons who operate robotically.

You will, together with Consultant Urologists be responsible for the provision of urology services and undertake surgical procedures within the dedicated urological operating theatres at Guy’s Hospital.

The fellow can expect to spend up to 50% of time (6 sessions per week) directly involved in robotic radical prostatectomy, cystectomy or renal surgery. 20% of time (2 sessions) dedicated to a specialist cancer clinic and a general urology clinic as well as being part of a 1/13 SPR On Call rota.

There are daily ward rounds prior to theatre sessions.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

There will also be exposure to robotic adrenalectomy, nephron-ureterectomy, RPLND and reconstructive procedures such as pyeloplasty

The ultimate aim of the robotic fellowship is independent practice at a high level of proficiency in robotic urological surgery, particularly radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer and robotic nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy, and robotic/open radical cystectomy. There will be cross cover across jobs allowing exposure to both sides.

The clinical work will be broken down into session with 50% of time spent in surgery. Patient contact which includes daily ward rounds prior to theatre sessions and weekly urology oncology and general clinics will equate to 20% of the time. Teaching and performing admin duties will equate to about 10%.

Research: Research projects will be undertaken and will be closely monitored by Consultants via monthly departmental audit meetings and weekly tutorial sessions.

Monthly academic meetings will allow close assessment and progress and presentations at National and International Urology Meetings. Research activities will be carried out during the working week and with some evenings and occasional weekends are required.
