Job Description

Job summary

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust invites applications for a 1 year fixed-term Consultant Clinical Oncologist with a specialist interest in GI malignancies.

Situated on the beautiful South Coast and adjacent to the South Downs National Park, yet only just over an hour from London by train, Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth offers the best of both worlds. Come and join our progressive and cohesive department, forging clinical excellence while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. IGRT, VMAT and 4D-CT are in routine use and a linac replacement programme to four cutting-edge Varian Trubeams (complete with 6 degree of freedom couches and 4D-CBCT) was completed in 2020. We have an established SABR service for lung and oligometastatic nodal and bone disease, and will shortly expand to spinal SABR treatments as well. We commissioned out treatment planning software (Raystation) around a year ago.

The post holder would cover the colorectal practice on the Isle of Wight with nurse specialist, prescriber and resident doctor support. The Upper GI practice is based at Portsmouth and shared with another Clinical Oncologist. The job incorporates both radiotherapy and systemic therapy and the post holder would be expected to participate in acute oncology ward rounds.

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, based at Queen Alexandra Hospital, has a vision to be recognized as a world-class hospital, leading the field through innovative healthcare solutions, focusing on the best outcomes for our patients, delivered in a safe, caring and inspiring environment. It was rated as ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in January 2020. Portsmouth Cancer Centre also provides cancer services to West Sussex (Chichester) and the Isle of Wight. We are a friendly and integrated Centre embracing enhanced radiographer, nursing and pharmacy roles, and actively encouraging research and innovation.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
