Post-CCT Fellow in Mohs & Advanced Dermatological Surgery

The closing date is 20 February 2026

We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and ambitious dermatologist to join our well-established and supportive Mohs and dermatological surgery team at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), Newcastle.

Applications are invited for a full-time, one-year fellowship post, commencing August 2026, for dermatologists seeking advanced specialist training in Mohs micrographic surgery, dermatological surgery and cutaneous oncology. Applicants may be substantive dermatologists, trainees within six months of Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT), or immediately post-CCT.

This fellowship provides comprehensive training across a broad range of dermatological surgical procedures, with a strong emphasis on the management of skin cancer. On completion of the programme, fellows are expected to have developed the skills of a dermatologist with a special interest in cutaneous surgery and cutaneous oncology, including:

• Mohs micrographic surgery
• Surgical reconstruction following skin cancer excision
• Scar revision
• Dermatological applications of laser technology

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

With around 2 million contacts with patients every year, we deliver care from:

• Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI)
• Freeman Hospital
• Newcastle Dental Hospital
• Newcastle Fertility Centre
• Northern Centre for Cancer Care, North Cumbria
• Northern Genetics Service

These include a range of flagship services which deliver cutting-edge care (supported by state‑of‑the‑art diagnostic services in both radiology and pathology) and are a catalyst for innovation to support pioneering clinical practice in the NHS.

We also have offices at Regent Point in Gosforth and community sites.
