Job overview
We are looking to appoint an innovative and high performing individual to join our well-established and progressive Ear, Nose and Throat Department at Kingston Hospital of Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust.
The successful candidate would complement a department of multi-disciplinary professionals, (including advanced audiologist practitioners and voice therapists), who collectively deliver acute and elective ENT services, both general and subspecialty, for all disciplines. The service is delivered as part of the Southwest London clinical network, and we have close links with St George’s Hospital and Royal Marsden Hospital where patients receive cancer treatment.
Main duties of the job
We also run ENT clinics at Queen Mary’s Hospital and Cobham Day Surgery Hospital. Our Audiology department is fully accredited by UKAS under the IQIPS version 2 standard.
A comprehensive clinical service is provided for the management and treatment of a wide range of diseases and disorders of hearing, balance, voice, swallowing, smell and taste. Our multidisciplinary service is delivered as part of an integrated care network covering South West London and Surrey.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The post offered is a substantive position. The timetable and salary will be dependent on the experience of the successful candidate. There is no on-call commitment.
The reformed health service requires that medics become increasingly involved in the management and administration of resources in their department. The post holder will be expected to work closely with the General Manager and the Clinical Lead in these matters and be active in promoting change to improve the delivery of services to all patients
