Gastroenterology Consultant
Consultant
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust is one of the top performing organisations within the NHS. Our staff think this is a great place to work and we hope you will agree. We have recently been rated as 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following our most recent inspection.
We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from Hospitals in Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston-on Stour to Community Services across the whole county. This includes our Community Teams in North Warwickshire.
We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity. Over 6000 people work for the Trust and many of them have been here a long time. People find they don’t need to go elsewhere to find a fulfilling career in healthcare.
The first thing you will notice about us is how we take our values seriously. We believe that our values underpin everything we do. If you are interested in a role with us you need to make sure our values match your own.
Our values can be summed up in one sentence. We are ‘Trusted to provide inclusive, safe, effective and compassionate care’. Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact on your work. It doesn’t matter what role you do, whether it is patient facing or not, we are all working in the same way with our values at the core.
Probationary Period
All new staff to the Trust will be subject to a standard 6 month probationary period, the details of which will duly follow in your contract of employment.
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust is committed to creating and sustaining a positive and inclusive working environment for all our employees. Our aim is to ensure that employees are equally valued and respected and that our organisation is representative of all members of society. We define diversity as valuing everyone as an individual – we value our employees, job applicants, students, patients and visitors as people. This is reflected within our values of being Inclusive, Safe, Effective, Compassionate and Trusted.
Agile and Flexible Working
All our staff will have a work base. However the Trust operates as an Agile Working Team therefore staff may be working from home on a regular basis as required by the service. However, occasionally travel around Warwickshire and into your base will be required so access to your own transport would be helpful.
The Trust also welcome staff to work flexibly and we would welcome the conversation at interview regarding flexible working.
Staff Benefits
The Trust offer a wide range of additional benefits to staff. Anyone who joins us on a substantive basis can assess things such as the Lease Car Scheme, Electronics Scheme, Discounted Leisure and Travel, Cycle to work scheme amongst many others available.
Car Parking
The Trust have recently completed the construction of a multi-storey car park at our Warwick Hospital site which has allowed us to reduce waiting times for car parking passes.

Job overview
We are looking to appoint two enthusiastic and dynamic colleagues to join the gastroenterology service at South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust. The successful candidates will be afforded the opportunity to collaborate with and develop the service.
One post requires an emphasis on education, and the other, a more general approach to the service, but any particular special clinical interest could be accommodated (and encouraged) where possible. The trust has an expanding cohort of Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients, therefore, interest in this area would be welcomed, however, as long as this interest fits in with the service needs of the department and complements the interests and expertise of the existing consultants.
Main duties of the job
There is an expectation that the post holders will provide emergency cover and weekend working. Out-of-hours endoscopy is shared equally by the gastroenterologists – becoming 1:8 with these two further appointments currently being advertised . Weekend cover will entail cover of existing in-patients and assistance in the management of acutely unwell patients with gastrointestinal problems.
The successful candidates will be expected to support undergraduate education providing clinical teaching and supervision of medical students from Warwick and Buckingham Medical Schools.
Working for our organisation
Come and join a Trust rated Outstanding by the CQC. South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust have been rated as outstanding following our latest inspection by the CQC and we are recruiting new staff to come and help us improve even further. In addition our staff survey results have placed us 4th in the country for recommended place to work.
We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from Hospitals in Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston-on Stour to Community Services across the county. We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity.
Our values can be summed up in one sentence. We are ‘Trusted to provide safe, inclusive, effective and compassionate care’. Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact on your work. It doesn’t matter what role you do, whether it is patient facing or not, we are all working in the same way with our values at the core.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The Gastroenterology team are keen to continually develop the clinical service. The successful applicant will find a range of exciting clinical and professional opportunities including:
• Endoscopy – therapeutic endoscopy; small bowel imaging and/or bowel cancer screening
• Physiology – both oesophageal and/or pelvic floor physiology
• Clinical – any clinical interest can be accommodated including nutrition (to link with the Central England Rehabilitation Unit), obesity (to link with existing hepatology service and to develop a potential future bariatric service), acute gastroenterology (to link with Acute Medicine and Emergency Medicine departments)
• Teaching – requirement to support clinical teaching for Students from both Warwick Medical School and Buckingham Medical School. The department presently provides relatively little direct teaching to medical students, and sufficient time would be allocated in the timetable to both provide and organise teaching sessions for undergraduate students. We would support the post-holder with academic interests and research related to Medical Education and would encourage close links with both medical schools and their academic departments.
• Academic/research – huge potential to support clinical research and link with biological sciences at Warwick University
• Management – the Trust is widely recognised for its organisational success over recent years
