An excellent opportunity has arisen to become part of the Oncology team at The Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

These are permanent appointments attracting 10 PA’s during the hours of 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

You will be part of an existing team of 9 Consultant Oncologists,  2.0 Speciality Doctor’s and 3 SpR’s rotating through West Midlands Deanery providing care to the population of Shropshire and Mid-Wales – catchment of 520,000 people.

The £4.8m state of the art Cancer & Haematology Centre, providing dedicated facilities to patients at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Clinical Oncology occupies the ground floor with Out-Patient clinics, Chemotherapy Day Centre (24 stations) and Radiotherapy facilities being co-located.

We are entering an exciting period here at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. We have been guaranteed more than £300 million pounds to develop our hospitals into two state of the art facilities that will offer greatly improved environments, more sustainable staffing and better facilities. It will make SaTH a better place to work, in turn making it a better place to receive care.

Over the last two years we have been building the foundations of a better future through our work with Virginia Mason and our own transforming care institute (TCI). We have introduced a leadership academy with more opportunities for development so all our leaders support, coach and perform at the highest levels, celebrate the hard work of our staff and recognise the wonderful improvements that are being made each and every day. This is a vital stepping stone to ensure we are equipped for our better future and realising our vision of providing the safest and kindest care for our patients. Leadership is about supporting teams to be the best they can be. As we move forward together it is vital all our teams understand their important role in delivering this brighter future for everyone.
