About the Role
The post holder will work collaboratively with consultant colleagues to provide Clinical Oncology services at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. Responsibilities include diagnosis and treatment of patients across hospitals, health centres, clinics, or other premises as required. The role involves continuing clinical responsibility for patients under your care, with appropriate delegation and training of staff. Occasional domiciliary consultations may be required. The post holder will treat patients under the National Health Service Act 1977 where applicable. Clinical duties include working in joint-clinic settings supported by other oncologists within the multidisciplinary team (MDT). Inpatient care is delivered via a ward attending rota system shared among clinical oncology consultants, equating to approximately two ward cover weeks per year during which routine work is cancelled.

Teaching is an integral part of the role, with all consultants expected to participate in undergraduate teaching during clinical work. Additional teaching responsibilities will be allocated time within the job plan. The post holder will also contribute to the training and support of doctors in training, including acting as an Educational Supervisor.

Clinical trial activity and research form a key element of the consultant's work, with involvement agreed with the clinical director. Participation in clinical governance activities such as clinical audit, guideline and protocol development, and risk management is expected. Consultants are also required to contribute to the management and development of their clinical service.

The duties outlined are not exhaustive and the post holder may be asked to undertake other tasks consistent with the role as required by the clinical director. Flexibility and adherence to Trust policies, procedures, Standing Orders, and Financial Regulations are essential to ensure the smooth running of the directorate.

Experience
Proven experience in Clinical Oncology with a focus on Head and Neck and Thyroid cancers is essential. Experience working within multidisciplinary teams and managing complex oncology cases is required.

About you
You will be a dedicated and collaborative consultant with strong clinical leadership skills. You should be committed to teaching, training, research, and clinical governance. Flexibility and a proactive approach to contributing to service development and management are important.

Qualifications
Full GMC registration with a license to practice and a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) or equivalent in Clinical Oncology. Evidence of ongoing professional development and involvement in clinical research is desirable.
