You will be working in a haematology department which is committed to providing high quality care and is at the forefront of innovative practice in the region. The posts will provide opportunities for the successful candidate to contribute to a rapidly evolving department which delivers high intensity chemotherapy and autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

We encourage a specialist interest and will endeavour to accommodate this. The department is an active recruiter to an expanding trial portfolio.

FRCPath or equivalent and M/FRCP are essential qualifications for this post.

Any applicant looking to work less than full time would be very welcome to apply for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis with the employing body in consultation with consultant colleagues.
