Locum Consultant Neurosurgeon in Spine

For the full Person Specification and more information regarding the main responsibilities of this role, please refer to the attached Job Description. This post will complement the existing Complex Spine Service, a nationally and internationally renowned tertiary referral service. Spinal services experience some of the longest waiting times for treatment, particularly for patients with degenerative spinal pathology. This post will make a direct contribution to the recovery and maintenance of elective waiting time standards, including Referral to Treatment (RTT). The post holder will therefore be expected to support the timely assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients in line with national and constitutional standards. The primary focus of the post will be the management and treatment of both complex and general degenerative spinal conditions. The role will be centred on delivering high-quality care for patients with degenerative spinal pathology while also contributing to the development and expansion of spinal endoscopy services within the department. Low-volume, high-complexity spinal conditions, including cervical deformity, spinal tumours, and intradural pathology, will remain outside the remit of this post.
