Specialty Doctor in Oral Surgery in Barnsley

Barnsley NHS Foundation Trust are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual to work as a Specialty Doctor in Oral Surgery. The post-holder will work with the current Oral Surgery / Oral and Maxillofacial surgery team at Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This is an exciting opportunity for the successful post holder to develop a close working relationship across Oral and Maxillo-facial Surgery (OMFS) and Oral Surgery (OS) within and outside of the Trust to deliver effective care for the population of Barnsley.

We are now seeking a Specialty Doctor who will work closely with the existing staff and other members of the multi-disciplinary team to provide a comprehensive service to patients. This post will appeal to appropriately trained and accredited clinicians who have enthusiasm and who are looking for a stimulating and challenging career. They will become an integral part of the routine workload and casemix management, with a key administrative input and some clinical freedom to develop interests. Whilst not a formal training post, we would encourage and support ongoing personal development.

This is a full-time post, working weekday standard day hours providing up to 10 Programmed Activities (PAs), but the Trust is happy to consider part time, flexible working arrangements and/or extended days to deliver a desirable work life balance, support professional goals and personal development.

The Oral Surgery/OMFS Departments employ dentally and medically qualified staff. This role is intended to be pivotal in ensuring the efficient running of the routine workload of the Oral Surgery / OMFS department. The postholder will be expected to take on appropriate administrative tasks with training and support. This may include delegation of tasks and the provision of advice and formal teaching to more junior dentally trained clinical staff.

A dental degree, GDC Registration, MFDS and substantial past relevant experience are essential. Post graduate qualifications would be considered advantageous. Familiarity with the common and significant medical comorbidities relevant to surgical treatment and their efficient management is needed. The ability to diagnose radiological abnormalities commonly encountered in referrals from dental practice is key to the correct triage of referrals, which the post holder may become involved in, depending on progress and ability.

You will not be required to participate in an on-call rota. Your background would include substantial experience in managing the simpler acute traumatic injuries forming the routine workload of an OMFS Department and experience of triaging, handling and appropriate onward referral of more complex or significant injuries and emergency presentations.
