  Job summary

  We are delighted to invite candidates to apply to work with us in this dynamic and expanding Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department in a beautiful area of North Yorkshire. Here at York and 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. History, nature and sporting delights - enough to satisfy the most enquiring of minds or athletically gifted!

  Candidates will contribute to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery on-call rota covering the diverse area of North Yorkshire on a 1:7 basis.

  We offer excellent opportunities for career development, with sizeable skin, head and neck and orthognathic practices, working closely with other hospital teams and MDTs. Experience or fellowships could be offered in these areas with time available in job plans for development. In York we understand the long career pathway and the need to keep motivated. The department and Trust both offer a welcoming and dynamic working environment, with opportunities to participate in teaching medical students from the Hull York Medical School (HYMS). Research opportunities are encouraged.

  Candidates must have full GMC Registration and sufficient experience in the specialty to work independently in clinic and theatre. A familiarity with issues of service organisation and development would be particularly advantageous. Applications from speciality trainees within 6 months of CCT are welcomed.

  Main duties of the job

  The department is within the Head and Neck Directorate which sits within the Surgical Care Group and provides an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service to York and the whole of North Yorkshire (a population of around 850 000). Maxillofacial Surgeons currently work at York, Scarborough, Bridlington, Selby and Harrogate, with outpatient and day case surgery at the peripheral sites. Inpatient activity is at the York site where there is a well-established, dedicated Head and Neck ward. The department is well supported by Radiology, Pharmacy and Pathology and has close links with Orthodontics, Restorative Dentistry, ENT, Dermatology and Ophthalmology.

  The Maxillofacial Surgery team carries out a large number of surgical procedures for Facial Cutaneous Malignancy each year. There is a well-established weekly Skin MDT based at the York site; this MDT has close links with the Head and Neck MDT.

  Management of OMFS Head & Neck Cancer is run jointly with colleagues in Hull and Leeds with AHP, Restorative and CNS support provided locally.

  There is an Orthognathic MDT run on a monthly basis with Orthodontics with 3D planning and excellent laboratory support.

  The Head and Neck Directorate consists of Maxillofacial Surgery, ENT, Orthodontics, Restorative Dentistry and Audiology and has its own dedicated Outpatient setting and Outpatients reception team in York. There is a very supportive managerial team and good administrative and secretarial support.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
