This post offers a rare opportunity to work within a highly specialised multidisciplinary team that delivers complex pelvic pain and endometriosis care. The role combines clinical responsibilities across obstetrics and gynaecology, with significant exposure to advanced laparoscopic surgery, specialist clinics and tertiary‑level care.

Applicants must have senior O&G experience equivalent to ST5–ST7 or post‑CCT level and must hold full GMC registration. They should have intermediate laparoscopic skills, at least twelve months of NHS O&G experience and the ability to work safely within a busy tertiary unit. Strong communication, organisational ability and commitment to team‑based, high‑quality care are essential.
