The Trust operates and relies on everyone treating each other with dignity and respect, to receive equitable and fair treatment in the implementation of Policies, Procedures and in its Practices, to foster positive work relationships, and finally to act with integrity as a professional within ESNEFT as well as a representative of the NHS as a whole. The EDI Agenda reflects the Trust values such as Optimistic, Appreciative and Kind. In line with the NHS Long Term Plan, People Plan, People Promise and a Model Employer intrinsic in the Equality Diversity and Inclusion Agenda, we consistently strive to improve, to take the learning into Action for a better ESNEFT.

Job overview
The Urology and General Surgery teams are located across two sites, Colchester and Ipswich. The appointee will work across both sites and support work within the ICB to ensure alignment with the trust drive to address child health inequalities by improving access to children’s surgical services. In 2020, the trust introduced robotic surgery. This has enabled the conversion of a nationally recognised laparoscopic centre to a leading robotic surgical centre. Innovation is highly valued and supported at ESNEFT.
The appointee will be based within the Urology department and will join 12 substantive and 3 locum consultants in the ESNEFT urology team with clinical commitments at both the Colchester and Ipswich sites. Current paediatric urological and surgical services have been provided by both urologists and general surgeons with an interest in paediatric surgery. Specialist tertiary support is provided by a visiting consultant paediatric surgeon from the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Tertiary referrals are made for more complex cases and there are links with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
Our Enhanced Welcome package includes an additional £20,000 Welcome Bonus and relocation costs to thank you for choosing to work at our Trust and your new journey with ESNEFT
Interviews will take place on the 26th of July 2024.
