Consultant in Otolaryngology (Paediatric Otolaryngology)
Applications are invited for a full time (10PA) replacement post for a retiring consultant based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH). We are interested in candidates that have undergone a comprehensive ear, nose, and throat training and who have an interest in Paediatric Otolaryngology. A fellowship in Paediatric Otolaryngology would be desirable but not essential, as development in Paediatric ENT is supported, especially for complex cases.
Main duties of the job
The new appointee will play a key role in the investigation and management of neonates and children diagnosed with permanent sensorineural hearing loss through the neonatal hearing screening programme, and will be an active member of the Cleft Palate team. In addition, the postholder will be expected to contribute to the development of a tertiary‑level Paediatric ENT service, strengthening our regional provision for complex and highly specialised care.
The combined ENT services currently consist of 10 WTE Consultants, 4 Registrars, 3 Staff Grades, 2 ENT Core Surgical Trainees, 2 Junior Teaching Fellows, 1 Junior Clinical Fellow along with 4 GP and Foundation Trainees.
The appointee is expected to fully participate in the delivery of the undergraduate curriculum for ENT at the University of East Anglia (UEA) School of Medicine. A clinical or basic science research role is also encouraged.
The appointee will participate in a 1 in 8 weekday on‑call rotation, and a 1 in 11 weekend on‑call rotation.
