The Ralph is the UK’s largest independent (non-corporate) multidisciplinary specialist referral centre in southeast England with ~250 Ralphers. We are looking for a Senior Neurology and Neurosurgery clinician to join our friendly, collaborative team as one of our existing team members from abroad is moving back home with their family.
We are open to full-time and part-time applicants and to discussing different part-time working patterns. We will consider Diplomates and Residency-trained board-eligible candidates. Significant experience in neurosurgery is not mandatory, as we are happy to provide all the necessary training.
Our large team currently consists of five ECVN Diplomates, three ECVN Residents, three Vet Interns and our four fabulous Neurology nurses!
At The Ralph, you will have access to advanced neurodiagnostic equipment, including 1.5T MRI, CT, fluoroscopy, electrodiagnostic unit (with capability for EMG, sensory and motor nerve conduction studies, BAER and video EEG) and a vast array of neurosurgical equipment including a pedicle screws and rods stabilisation system. We have a highly varied caseload of medical and surgical neurological cases with exposure to various advanced neurosurgical procedures.
In our specialist-led multidisciplinary environment, you will also receive full support from Diplomates in many disciplines. These include Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Cardiology, Dentistry, Diagnostic Imaging, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Ophthalmology, and Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Surgery. Our Neurology service works very closely with our excellent Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation team. Our hospital also has a 24-7-365 Diplomate-led Emergency and Critical Care service. This allows us to provide specialist care, including mechanical ventilation, to acute and critical patients at any time.
Our ideal candidate’s winning traits include dedication to patients, a positive attitude toward teamwork, a willingness to teach, and a cheerful, friendly character.
We offer a competitive package of salary and other benefits, including generous holiday and CPD allowance, employee share options, and private medical insurance.
Full-time is four days per week. Our current clinician team works with a shared on-call rota covering weekends and Bank Holidays. The weekend on-call rota is one weekend in five, either as primary or backup for the residents, with support from our interns and service-specific nurses. During the week, our Emergency and Critical Care team are responsible for admitting neuroemergencies Out of Hours.
Marlow is located on the River Thames between Henley and Windsor. This is a beautiful area with lovely walks, water-based activities and more. Our hospital is just off the A404, with easy access from the M4 and M40 motorways, and close to London. Marlow is conveniently located only 25 minutes from Heathrow Airport, 45 minutes from Luton Airport and one hour from Gatwick or Stansted Airport. This location makes it very convenient for weekend getaways or for our European colleagues to ‘pop back’ to their home countries to visit friends and family.
The Ralph workplace focuses on core values, culture, vision and mission. We emphasise kindness, compassion and empathy for all our communities. As an independent hospital, we have the freedom and flexibility to chart our course. We would love to hear from you if you want to know more.
