Job overview

We are looking for an ambitious, fellowship-trained otologist to join our friendly and forward-thinking ENT team at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, primarily based at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester. This is a genuinely exciting time to join us: the department is expanding, our otology service is growing, and you will have real scope to influence how that growth happens — from clinical pathways to service strategy — rather than simply stepping into a fixed rota.

You will work within a 1 in 12 network on call across Winchester, Southampton and Salisbury, giving you the rare combination of a stable, predictable district general base alongside the camaraderie, peer support and case mix of a wider tertiary-linked network. For a sub-specialist otologist, that network is where this role gets interesting — close working relationships with colleagues across three sites, shared learning, and a genuinely collegiate approach to complex cases.

This is a full time general ENT consultant post with a special interest in Otology, primarily based at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital (Winchester), with cross-site work at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital as the service requires.

You will take an active role in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and training, contribute to the management and development of the clinical service, and work alongside consultant colleagues to maintain a high standard of patient care across the Trust.

You will participate in clinical and other service activities with the aim of ensuring a consistently high standard of patient care.

Together with consultant colleagues, you will be responsible for the provision of ENT services to Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Working for our organisation

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
