As an Orthopedic Surgeon at the Foot and Ankle Reconstruction Unit of the Sint Maartenskliniek, you will have a direct influence on our mission: Moving forward together! We are looking for an orthopedic surgeon who wants to build a career in the specialty of foot and ankle surgery, who is dedicated to working for this unit, and will thereby also become a staff member.

To achieve that:

• You will participate independently in the outpatient clinic and operating room regarding primary and revision ankle/hindfoot surgery at our main location in Nijmegen (approximately 50%) and outpatient location in Woerden (approximately 50%).

• Conducting scientific research is an important part of the job package.

• You will continuously expand your expertise by being actively involved in (inter)national congresses, courses, and associations through research and expertise.

• You will get the opportunity to initially cover the foot-ankle spectrum broadly, whereby you can gradually develop further in the field of complex orthopedic care such as neuromuscular surgery, rheumatology surgery, reconstructions, and prosthetics. All this in a place where everything revolves around expertise, excellence, and innovation.

• You feel comfortable in a teaching hospital and have an active role in training fellows, A(N)IOS, and medical students.

• A versatile role with much responsibility and room for own initiative.

• A contract for the duration of one year with the intention to convert this to a permanent employment after one year.

• A salary and employment conditions according to the AMS with a supplementary scheme for Medical Specialists from the Sint Maartenskliniek.

• Focus on your talent and (personal) development, partly supported by our own Maartensacademie which advises and facilitates you in education, schooling, and training.

• Attention to your vitality, with an eye for your personal situation, life stage, and concrete facilities such as free sports on location.

• A beautiful workplace in a wooded environment.

• A workplace where we accept you as you are and where you may be yourself.

Do you want to work on the freedom of movement of our patients and truly help them move forward? You are in the right place with us.

We also cordially invite surgeons who already bring some of this experience to apply!

• You possess sufficient self-confidence to work independently, but also dare to reach out to colleagues and are open to learning in doing so.

• You are ambitious, enthusiastic, and result-oriented.

• You show initiative and communicate openly and effectively.
