Thank you for your taking the time to consider this opportunity to work with us. We are firmly committed to being the best possible provider of healthcare and place to work in the NHS and we have an exciting opportunity to recruit to 3 Luminal Gastroenterology Consultant positions.
The endoscopy service is one of the largest in the region, serving a population of more than 1.1m. We have been the beneficiary of significant national capital investment with a new 2 roomed endoscopy unit opening at Hinckley Hospital (CDC) in June 2025. In October 2025 we will open a new Endoscopy Unit at the LGH site which will comprise of 6 procedure rooms and 20 individual patient pods. The unit will have excellent training facilities with SMOTS installed in three procedure rooms linking to a large seminar room which will facilitate the wide range of JAG courses the department run. This investment means there will be physical capacity of 16 rooms, across three acute hospitals and 4 community sites, enabling the LLR endoscopy service to see upwards of 34,000 patients per year. Offering highly complex procedures at two of our acute sites, as well as high volumes of diagnostics and new developments such as transnasal procedures.
This is an exciting time to be joining the Gastroenterology Team at UHL with investment being secured to expand the medical and nursing workforce. We are delighted to offer opportunities for 3 luminal gastroenterology consultants. These posts have been created to expand the team and we would look to support colleagues who wish to develop their subspecialty interest for example in IBD, nutrition, upper and lower therapeutic procedures or neuroendocrine. All posts will work across the 3 sites within UHL and have Community sessions within their job plan. It is expected that the post holder will take part in the Department’s on-call rota for In-reach and GI Bleed on-call as well as working in their specialist area of gastroenterology.
This appointment will provide consultant ward rounds, outpatient services, endoscopic services and be a part of relevant MDT’s. Successful candidates will be encouraged and supported to further develop their own skills and will also be expected to be involved in Undergraduate and Postgraduate education and research.
We are looking for Consultant Gastroenterologist’s who can show that they lead in the right way and that can evidence what they deliver.

It has an operating turnover more than £1.4 billion and it provides a wide range of general and specialist services across a diverse range of communities in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland (LLR) and beyond.
