The posts are intended to provide additional experience in Trauma and Orthopaedics to enable a more informed career choice for the future and to enable successful application into a Core Training (CT1-2) or Specialty Training (ST1-2) position in Trauma and Orthopaedics.

Whilst this is not a recognised training post, every effort is made to provide the postholder with all the opportunities to train and help further their career.

There is a comprehensive induction and regular weekly teaching with the intention that the service commitment, supervision level and educational opportunities will be equivalent to that of our existing trainees and is equivalent to a training post in every way., The post holder will participate in the first on call rota for trauma and orthopaedics. They will be responsible for the T&O in-patients and have opportunities for dedicated training in elective and emergency theatre alongside specialist and general fracture clinics.

This is a Full-Time post providing with basic hours of 40 hours per week, but applicants wishing to work part-time are also encouraged to apply and rotas will be adjusted accordingly, and by negotiation with appointees.

The post holder must be fully registered with GMC and hold a current license to practice.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation.Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS- yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boardslisten to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members - patients, staff andthe local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in thechanges to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
