Locum Consultant in Otolaryngology

We are looking for a talented and motivated individual to join the ENT department at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. The post offers the opportunity to work as a general ENT consultant in a busy teaching hospital. The locum post is anticipated to become substantive. The post holder may have the opportunity to develop a specialist interest in line with the needs of the service.

Applicants should have a passion for working across all areas of general ENT and enthusiasm for the breadth of varied clinical practice.

This recruitment is intended to expand consultant capacity to utilise the additional operating provision created by regular all-day general anaesthetic lists within the new Surgical Elective Centre (SEC) at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, due to open in summer 2026.

The SEC is a purpose-built, five-storey facility designed to support the reduction of NHS waiting lists. It will house seven state-of-the-art operating theatres, including two hybrid theatres, with the aim of increasing capacity for planned surgical activity. The centre will deliver tertiary complex and routine procedures for patients across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire.

The John Radcliffe Hospital ENT Department is a friendly and collaborative place to work. You will be working closely with a dedicated and caring multi-disciplinary team who strive to provide gold standard care with compassion; we urge you to visit the unit prior to interview.

The appointee will be expected to participate in the on-call rota and may be required to work on any other site as required by the OUH Trust in the future.
