We are delighted to invite candidates to apply to work with us in this dynamic and expanding Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department in a beautiful area of North Yorkshire. Here at York and Scarborough NHS Trust we serve the impressive historic city itself but also cover the original seaside resort of Scarborough and the spa town of Harrogate. History, nature and sporting delights - enough to satisfy the most enquiring of minds or athletically gifted!
We are looking to recruit to two vacancies - ideally full-time, substantive Consultant positions based at York, Scarborough and Bridlington Hospitals, although for the right candidate we are open to offers of part-time working. Recognising the importance of a balanced lifestyle, we will do our best to be as flexible as we can be.

We offer excellent opportunities for career development, with sizeable skin, head and neck and orthognathic practices, working closely with other hospital teams and MDTs. The department and Trust both offer a welcoming and dynamic working environment, with opportunities to participate in teaching medical students from the Hull York Medical School (HYMS). Research opportunities are encouraged.
Our inclusive nature has brought close working not only between neighbouring OMFS units but also within other specialities. We are a cohesive group with excellent support from SAS grades and are one of the first units to train OMFS Surgical care Practitioners. Close links with department management help smooth areas of decision making and streamline care.
The department is within the Head & Neck and Plastics Directorate which sits within the Surgical Care Group and provides an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service to York and the whole of North Yorkshire (a population of around 850 000).

The department is well supported by Radiology, Pharmacy and Pathology and has close links with Orthodontics, Restorative Dentistry, ENT, Dermatology and Ophthalmology.
