University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust are excited to invite you to apply for a band 5 post in General Surgery. This will be working on Chiltington ward which has an enhanced surgical care unit (ESCU). ESCU provides level 1 care for our acutely ill surgical patients and has 5 beds and 1 sideroom

We have an award winning preceptorship programme that will allow you to transition through your first year with support and guidance. This is protected time away from your ward and allows you to network and grow within your peer group. With a variety of specialities on offer such as Neurosurgery, ENT, Orthopaedics, Gastro Medicine/ Surgery and Theatres we surely have something that will capture your interest.

At University Hospitals Sussex, we are committed to supporting the NHS in becoming the world’s first net zero health service. We have developed our plan using the Care without Carbon framework for sustainable healthcare. Projects that deliver the greatest direct CO2 reduction, as well as cultural change, will be prioritised.


In Summary What Can We Offer You


  • Access to ongoing training and continual professional development opportunities.
  • Access different services and get different skills on the areas you’re interested in.
  • Best work/life balance so we’ll offer you a supportive and flexible working environment that will allow this.
  • We have an excellent health and wellbeing support network for all our colleagues, including lots of discounts in local business and hospitality.
  • You’ll be working at some of the best locations in the South East, from the harbour side at Chichester, to the rolling downs of Sussex and the vibrant charms of Worthing and Brighton.


We want to hire talent: if this is you, join us today!


At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always put the Patient First, as shown in our Outstanding for Caring CQC rating. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed. We have a range of Staff Networks to help break down barriers, and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) and a Veteran Aware Trust.

We treat our patients and staff with the same compassion and empathy we expect for ourselves. We’re here for them when they need us, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs. This can be seen in our Wellbeing Programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.

As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.

We look forward to receiving your application and the start of your journey with UHSussex
