Job overview Help us build a new centre of excellence for colorectal cancer for Sussex patients.
We have three positions available for exciting opportunities to join the Trust's general and colorectal cancer surgical team. You will play a key role in helping develop the model of surgical care for delivering high quality, timely colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery in a high-volume surgical site (Worthing Hospital - WH) and supporting excellent general and emergency surgical care at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH), a Major Trauma Centre (MTC).
There are three posts, both offered as dual site roles based at WH for elective surgery as part of the newly created dedicated CRC team, and at the RSCH for emergency work. OPD and endoscopy (if relevant) will be offered at sites relevant to patient population. Roles will be key to supporting and enabling the development of a single UHSussex-wide CRC service including a single MDT, unified waiting list, standardised care pathways and an integrated high quality patient experience. Key to this will be engaging with patients, safety reviews, and facilitating a culture of listening, learning and continuous improvement.
As the new model of surgical care develops, further substantive consultant posts will be needed and developed, alongside nursing, theatre and wider MDT posts.
Main duties of the job Colorectal and general surgery - elective surgical work (general and cancer) at WH. On call (including CEPOD, on call, acute admission) will be at RSCH site. As the combined team develops, on call will be shared across WH and RSCH to a maximum of 1:8. The on call at RSCH will include major trauma attendance and consultant lead support to resident junior doctors.
Attendance at CRC MDT and supporting the work to develop the integrated service.
Outpatient at Southlands Hospital (main site for new CRC OPD and pre-operative assessment hub). Endoscopy sessions can be offered at RSCH or PRH.
Working for our organisation At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always put the Patient First, as shown in our Outstanding for Caring CQC rating. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed. We have a range of Staff Networks to help break down barriers, and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in. We're proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) and a Veteran Aware Trust.
We treat our patients and staff with the same compassion and empathy we expect for ourselves. We're here for them when they need us, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs. This can be seen in our Wellbeing Programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.
As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.
