Here at York & Scarborough NHS Trust we serve the impressive historic city itself but also cover the original seaside resort of Scarborough and the spa town of Harrogate.

One of these posts sits within the Head & Neck oncology team alongside our 2 H&N Consultants and 1 within the skin cancer and/or complex dentoalveolar services. We are a cohesive department with an excellent and well-established SAS grade team (7 members). We are also one of the first units to train OMFS Surgical Care Practitioners. The recent recruitment of 3 new Consultants means that in 2027 we will have a team of 5 substantive Consultants, alongside others employed on a fixed-term basis. We offer excellent opportunities for career development, with sizeable skin, H&N and orthognathic practices, working closely with other hospital teams and MDTs. If you are interested in working with us, please get in touch as we’d love to meet you and discuss options. Part-time working will be considered. Specific job plans will be discussed with candidates but they will likely include: outpatient clinics and procedures, supporting Consultant theatre lists, running independent day case theatre lists, acute on call work, clinical governance and teaching (DCTs and dental/medical/nursing students). The candidate will join the on call rota on a 1:6-8 (to be confirmed) basis with, at most, one week of daytimes, one weekend and four evenings per six-week cycle. Our department is part of the Head & Neck and Plastics Directorate (Surgery Care Group). In York, we have a dedicated outpatient setting and reception team, supported by an established managerial, administrative and secretarial team. The Maxillofacial Surgery team undertakes a high volume of procedures for facial cutaneous malignancy. A well-established weekly Skin MDT is based in York and has close links with the Head & Neck MDT. Our monthly Orthognathic MDT is run jointly with Orthodontics, supported by 3D planning and excellent laboratory provision. A well-established Joint Orthognathic Clinic is also based in York, with support from our Orthodontic Consultants. OMFS Head & Neck Cancer is managed jointly with colleagues in Hull & Leeds, with local AHP, Restorative and CNS support. The Maxillofacial Surgery team provides a full ablative and reconstructive service as part of the Head & Neck MDT and works closely with YTHFT oculoplastic surgeons and Restorative & Dental consultants. We became a Foundation Trust on 1 April 2007, which led to significant changes to the overall governance of the organisation and increased the links to the local community through the appointment of governors and members. We provide acute and community services for approximately 800,000 people living in and around York and Scarborough, providing a range of specialist services over a wider catchment area across North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and Rydale. In April 2011 the Trust took over the management of some community based services in Selby, York, Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale. This includes some community nursing and specialist services as well as Archways in York, St Monica’s in Easingwold, The New Selby War Memorial Hospital, Whitby Hospital and Malton Hospital.
