Junior Clinical Fellow in General Surgery

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Full Time Junior Clinical Fellow in General Surgery. The post will be based at the Grange University Hospital, SE Wales for a fixed term period of 12 months from August 2026.

This post is suitable for junior doctors considering or seeking a career in a surgical specialty, and/or those wishing to gain experience in surgery prior to applying to other specialties e.g. radiology or general practice, or who seek further experience at core training level before applying to Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery.  Many previous post holders have successfully applied to Core Surgical Training posts and other national specialty selection processes. Recent post holders secured their first choice core surgical training posts through National Selection.

“These are the current applicable pay scales; however, these may change upon implementation of the framework agreement for reform to the terms and conditions of service for resident doctors and dentists in Wales. Further details can be found at BMA+-+Framework+Agreement+Wales.”
