Visa sponsorship

This role is listed by an employer that holds a live Home Office sponsor licence on the Skilled Worker route.

NHS roles fall under the Health and Care Worker route. Public reference figures for that route: the general salary minimum is £25,000 a year, and salaries set by national pay scales (NHS bands) at or above the relevant band rate typically meet the occupation's requirement. Individual eligibility depends on personal circumstances. These figures are public reference information, not advice or a verdict on this job.

Role description

Job summary

The appointment is to commence in October 2026 for a fixed term period of 12 months due to time limited funding. The successful candidate should be at a training level of ST5-ST8 in obstetrics and gynaecology and hold a National Training Number. The post holder will apply for an Out-of-Programme for Research (OOPR) in order to undertake the post. This is not recognised as a 'training post' and does not award a National Training Number. Full registration with the GMC with a licence to practise is needed, and if the appointee does not hold right of residence in the UK, sponsorship will be required.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will work closely with the consultants and the clinical teams and have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience and training whilst working in a busy tertiary referral centre. The doctor will have an academic supervisor who will support the research component, and an educational supervisor to support clinical components of the post and assist in meeting the individual's training and career goals including appraisal.

The successful trainee should be at a training level of ST5+ in obstetrics and gynaecology, and is expected to take on responsibilities associated with this role. The clinical fellow will need to respect the roles of others within the MDT and be able to communicate with them appropriately.
