Job overview

The Maxillofacial Unit offers experience in many aspects of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Specialist interests include Head & Neck Oncology, Craniofacial Trauma, Facial Deformity and skin Cancer of the Head & Neck. There is a vast amount of skin cancer cases performed every year and we have a comprehensive, dedicated Skin MDT run with Dermatologists and Pathologists. In addition there are links with the Tumour Board for Skin which takes place at the Royal London Hospital. The major Head & Neck surgery takes place at UCLH in central London.

Although the main purpose of this post is to provide service delivery there will be a significant element of training in many aspects of OMFS to allow the candidate to prepare him or herself to enter the higher training in the speciality.

Successful candidate can be double qualified in a pre- T3 position.

The job plan will be tailored to align with the successful candidate's experience and to support their individual training needs.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will attend general and multidisciplinary clinics and undertake ward rounds on their own or with the Consultant on call as well as assisting in clinics. There are joint clinics with orthodontists, both paediatric and adults, and joint dermatologists clinics with the MOHS surgeon which the successful candidate will be encouraged to attend. In addition there will be sufficient opportunity to get oral surgery experience in both the MOS and Theatre setting supervised by a Consultant or the specialty Doctor. There are weekly consultant theatre lists encompassing Salivary gland surgery, Facial Deformity, Craniofacial Trauma, Skin cancer and Oral Surgery, where the successful candidate will be allocated to assist.

Working for our organisation

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

We are tackling the backlog in many ways including having super-clinics in the evening and weekends; using state-of-the art diagnostic equipment; and streamlining the way we work.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts. This will be one of the many benefits of our closer collaboration with Barts Health. Working with them and with all our partners across north east London, we will find a sustainable solution to enhance patient care.
