Specialty Doctor - Ear, Nose and Throat | Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust

We are looking for a Specialty Doctor to join the MSEFT Team based at our Broomfield site.

The ENT Department has its own ward for ENT, OMFS, and Head and Neck Cancer, with up to 12 children’s beds available on the paediatric ward. An Acute Clinic works alongside the ENT Ward.

Emergency and major head and neck inpatient surgery are centralised at Broomfield Hospital, with a hub and spoke model. A wide range of ENT surgery – including tympanomastoid, head and neck, rhinoplasty, and endoscopic sinus surgery – is well‑established. Almost all otological, rhinological, and benign head and neck surgeries are carried out at Basildon.

The department’s outpatient facilities are self-contained with en‑suite audiology and hearing aid facilities. The clinic is fully equipped for fibre‑optic flexible and rigid nasendoscopy, and there is a modern audiology department with ERA equipment and temporal bone dissection facilities.

Responsibilities

• Conduct outpatient clinics and theatre work, including independent duties and support of consultants in complex cases.
• Participate on an on‑call rota with ENT ST3+ and Specialty Doctors across MSEFT and PAH.
• Operate day‑case and 23‑hour stay operating lists, with supervision as deemed necessary.
• Lead outpatient clinics, often in conjunction with a Consultant ENT Surgeon, and occasionally independently.
• Deputise for absent colleagues in theatres, wards, and outpatient clinics at a level commensurate with your experience and ENT capability.

Based at Broomfield, the hub for the network, clinical responsibility reports to the Consultant ENT Surgeons.

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, improve patient health and wellbeing, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
