Applications are invited for the post of Clinical Fellow Higher (ST3-5) in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, to commence from 05 August 2026 until 03 August 2027.
We are looking for an ambitious individual who wants to progress in their career as a future Obstetrician and/or Gynaecologist. The aim of this post is to act as a stepping stone towards this goal, and the post is designed to provide training to doctors with some experience in the specialty but who can act independently at a Registrar level.
The successful applicant will be involved in postgraduate training of those at a ST1-2 level and will also train undergraduate medical students at the University of Cambridge.
The applicant will contribute to service improvement projects and audits within the department.
The duties of the post include an on‑call commitment on the Middle Grade Rota in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, which is a Tier Two of a Four‑Tier on‑call rota with core level support, and on‑site Resident Senior Registrar, as well as separate on‑call Consultants for Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
The applicant must have demonstrable skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking in English that enable effective communication about medical topics with patients and colleagues, as set out in the GMC’s Good Medical Practice (2013). Non‑UK applicants must possess the IELTS/OET exam before obtaining a GMC licence to practice.
Applications from job seekers who require skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications.
Skilled worker applicants applying for entry clearance into the UK must present a criminal record certificate from each country they have resided continuously or cumulatively for 12 months or more in the past 10 years. Adult dependants (over 18 years old) will also be subject to this requirement.
