We are delighted to offer the opportunity for a Consultant in Gastroenterology with an interest in IBD and/or complex polypectomy to join our friendly and caring Gastroenterology Team providing services to our region. This post is ideal for anyone wanting to practice Gastroenterology in a District General Hospital that is well led and has excellent links with Primary Care and the local community services.

The Trust serves a population of over 310,000 in rural surroundings on the western edge of Greater Manchester and the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary is just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre in an ideal position for shopping and leisure activities. Haigh Country Park is directly opposite the Hospital, and the town is renowned for its football and rugby teams, so there's always plenty to do. We can help with relocation to what is an attractive and increasingly popular area of the UK.

The successful candidates will work closely with the existing Nine Consultants in Gastroenterology.

An Enhanced DBS with Children and Adults barred list will be undertaken for the successful Candidate.

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are the proud providers of acute hospital and community services to the people of the Wigan Borough and surrounding areas. At WWL, we value our staff believing that ‘happy staff, makes for happy patients’. We have a recognised track record in staff engagement, and living our values ‘the WWL Way’.

The needs of our patients are at the heart of everything we do but we are equally committed to the wellbeing of our clinical teams. Your contribution will be highly valued, and your further professional development encouraged. As we are fully committed to 'improving working lives', we can also offer access to a dedicated childcare co-ordinator and occupational health services, plus initiatives such as career break schemes and flexible working.

WWL are committed to placing the patient at the heart of everything we do, and in the provision of safe, effective care that acknowledges and ensures dignity. With this in mind we are seeking to recruit people who share our values and beliefs.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.
