We are seeking a highly motivated, dynamic colleague to join us and continue the delivery of a high class Gastroenterology service.
This post is designed to support the activities of the gastroenterology / endoscopy department and provide specialist advanced endoscopy training experience in the Division of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy in the trust. The post is initially for 1 year with an opportunity to extend to 2 years by mutual agreement. The post will be primarily based at the North Tees Hospital. However, cross site working at the Hartlepool hospital for covering endoscopy lists and gastroenterology clinic will be required.
This post offers an opportunity to consolidate endoscopy skills in basic diagnostic gastroscopy and colonoscopy and would be ideal for a senior gastroenterology trainee wishing to expand their endoscopy experience in therapeutic endoscopy and pursue a career in HPB endoscopy.
The candidate should be competent in diagnostic gastroscopy and colonoscopy and would be expected to deliver service lists independently by working in a flexible manner.
Main duties of the job
This post will include an estimate of 1 flexible service endoscopy list per week (gastroscopy & colonoscopy), 1 inpatient Gastroenterology list, 1 patient related administration session and 0.5 audit/research session every week. The work intensity will vary depending on the number of lists cancelled by other endoscopists. There will be a commitment to advanced endoscopy training (4 lists/week), exposure to outpatient clinic (2/week) and multidisciplinary team meetings (0.5 session/ week). There will be opportunity to undertake training in advanced endoscopy techniques such as ERCP, EUS, luminal stenting & dilatation and polypectomy. There will be opportunity to attend regular multidisciplinary team meetings (UGI/HPB cancer MDT, Benign HPB MDT) and participate in audit/ research projects. About us
At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones.

We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition - a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards. We support the Making Every Contact Count approach to behaviour change in the promotion of health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. We recruit for values and "Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool". Job responsibilities
