An exciting rare opportunity to recruit a CNS consultant to join the Neuro Oncology team at The Christie.
This is an 8pa post with an additional temporary 1pa of up to 5 years.
The successful applicant will share new referrals of adult neuro-oncology patients with colleagues and attend the weekly neuro‑oncology new patient clinic at The Christie, which handles approximately 250 new referrals per year.
Clinical responsibilities include participating in planned weekend and weekday activity to support safe, timely decision‑making across 7 days, contributing to the delivery of high‑quality consultant‑led care, and supporting the entire spectrum of CNS tumours in adult and Pediatric/Young Adult populations.
Other duties include: participation in multiple MDTs (neuro‑oncology, skull base, pituitary, and supportive care at Salford Royal Hospital or via MS Teams), delivering stereotactic radiosurgery services, providing cross‑cover for the NF2 service (MDT and systemic therapy delivery), and sharing responsibility for the clinical leadership and development of the neuro‑oncology late‑effects service.
Research activity is integral to the role. The neuro‑oncology team is active in imaging, basic science, radiotherapy and phase I–III trials. The successful applicant will help support clinical trials and may develop this aspect further, working with the Early Phase Medicines team and the wider research infrastructure of the University of Manchester and MCRC.
Full support and training will be provided for all clinical aspects, including the pituitary MDT and the skull base service.
Proud member of the Disability Confident employer scheme.
