Job description

Overview

There are several posts available for the successful applicants, with potential job-sharing or less than full-time appointments, providing a unique opportunity for flexibility depending on individual preference and departmental requirements. The successful applicants would join a team of 32 consultants. We work in an oligo-specialist setting – colleagues are encouraged to take part in 2-3 subspecialties, becoming part of the respective teams. In preparation for the approaching retirement of our perinatal Pathologist colleague, we especially welcome applicants with experience in paediatric/perinatal Pathology, or those willing to undertake speciality training provided in collaboration with training centres. Applications from colleagues with skin, GI and cytology specialisation are also welcomed, though other subspecialty interests can be accommodated.

Our vision is to create a large and diverse department to provide individuals with personalised and flexible working patterns to support their professional interests and development.

The Histopathology team works in a purpose built modern, light, and airy building on a green field site which has been commended for its design and infrastructure by external assessors. It is next to the research park and university campus near the Sports Park. Each consultant has their own or a shared office with up-to-date IT equipment including voice-recognition software.

Workload is controlled by an exit allocation system based on Royal College of Pathologists points, allowing consultants to protect SPA time and provide coverage for job-planned activities outside routine reporting.

Digital pathology is already in use at our department in collaboration with our regional colleagues to aid flexible working, teaching and research.

We have an established Biorepository and are involved in the collection of samples for the Genomics England 100,000 Genome Project.

Our well-equipped laboratory is UKAS accredited to ISO15189:2022 standards, fully staffed and BMS cut-up is well established. Private practice and work for HM Coroners are optional extras. A number of consultants work part-time, and we actively encourage flexible working, utilising our new digital pathology solution, to ensure a healthy work/life balance.

Join us at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and be part of a workforce of over 10,000 staff!
