More detail about the role

Are you re-evaluating your work-life balance? Would you prefer a stress-free picturesque commute? With breath-taking countryside, spectacular beaches and vibrant city life.

We are particularly looking for neuro-oncology, gynae-oncology (including brachytherapy), uro-oncology, hepato-biliary and skin but there is flexibility around tumour sites.

There is potential for further developing teaching and research links with Exeter University at undergraduate and post graduate levels as well as contributing to the expanding Peninsula Medical and Clinical Oncology training programme.

The hospital is situated in central Exeter. This historic city is well served by rail, road and air links. There are a number of Good to Outstanding Ofsted-rated local schools and the Trust has an on-site Ofsted graded Outstanding Nursery and holiday play scheme.
