We are looking for a Consultant Oncologist (Medical or Clinical) with an interest in Sarcoma to lead and develop the Sarcoma service in South Wales.
This is an exciting time for Velindre University NHS Trust with a brand-new cancer centre in construction in North Cardiff and the development of a Cancer Research and Complex Oncology Hub in close collaboration with University Hospital of Wales and Cardiff University. In addition, we have a regional outreach programme including a Radiotherapy Satellite Centre in Aneurin Bevan UHB (Nevill Hall Hospital) opening in Spring 2025.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving, enthusiastic and engaged group of 57 Oncology consultants at Velindre Cancer centre at a time when our regional clinical services are rapidly developing.
The sarcoma team at Velindre is committed to advancing clinical research and actively contributes to sarcoma clinical trials. With significant opportunities to expand the sarcoma trials portfolio, this role offers the chance to lead as a Principal Investigator in clinical trials, making an impact in the field.
The service is supra-regional with a weekly soft tissue sarcoma MDT for South and Mid Wales and close working with Birmingham where bone sarcoma surgery is undertaken. Patients are treated in Velindre Cancer Centre or in the Teenage Cancer Unit in University Hospital of Wales so cross site working is part of the role. There is a dedicated sarcoma oncology specialist nurse and two clinical oncologists in the current team.
We would welcome conversations with an interested colleague and would be open to discussion regarding a second tumour site or area of interest for the right candidate.
