Consultant in General Haematology

One of the largest NHS Health Boards in South Wales is looking to recruit a Consultant Haematologist to join a friendly and dynamic team. This is a great opportunity to develop your career in a supportive department, that is actively engaged in transformation and growth, while also enjoying a vibrant lifestyle near cities, coastlines and countryside.

Role and Responsibilities

You will be involved in both malignant and general haematology. The post offers broad clinical exposure with shared responsibilities across:

• Clinical haematology, laboratory haematology and liaison services
• Equitable participation in the on-call rota
• Reporting of bone marrow samples, trephine biopsies and blood films
• Supporting patients undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments related to haematological malignancies

Applicants with any subspecialty interest are encouraged to apply, although experience in haematological malignancy and chemotherapy is desirable.

You’ll be part of a team helping shape the future of the haematology service as it undergoes an exciting transformation. This includes:

• Expansion of the medical and nursing team, including development of Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Consultant Nurses, and Clinical Scientists
• Sub-specialisation within the department
• Closer collaboration with neighbouring health boards and NHS trusts

The post-holder will also be expected to engage in teaching, contribute to service development, and potentially participate in or lead research initiatives.

The Hospital

The role is based at a busy district general hospital that serves a wide population across three county boroughs. It offers a broad range of inpatient and outpatient services, including specialist and diagnostic care. The haematology department is a BCSH Level 2 service with strong ties to a regional Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant Centre for more complex patient pathways.

The department has a strong team ethos, supportive clinical leadership, and a collaborative working environment. The post-holder will have access to excellent facilities and opportunities for both professional and personal development.

The Location

Located in South Wales, the hospital is situated close to a thriving community that offers the perfect balance of countryside and urban living. The area is within easy reach of Cardiff, Swansea and even Bristol, making it ideal for those seeking vibrant city life alongside natural beauty.

With close proximity to the Brecon Beacons, beautiful beaches and the South Wales Valleys, it’s a popular area for families, professionals and lovers of the outdoors. The local community is welcoming, and the area is steeped in Welsh culture, history, and sport. The region also offers excellent transport links, good schools, affordable housing and a high quality of life.

• For UK-trained applicants: Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) or within six months of achieving CCT at the time of interview
