Trauma Surgeon (0.8 - 1.0 fte)

As a trauma surgeon at Chirurgencoöperatie Oost-Nederland (ChirCON), you will work on trauma care in its full breadth and contribute to its further development in the Eastern Netherlands. Your primary workplace is ZGT in Almelo, a high-volume Level 2 trauma center within a top-clinical hospital. Additionally, there is the possibility to work at a second location. You will treat the full spectrum of trauma patients and will be given the space to further expand your expertise. For example, in the field of complex extremity injuries, post-traumatic complaints, or sports traumatology. In addition to trauma care, you will participate in general surgical practice. Working within ChirCON Within ChirCON, the trauma surgeons of ZGT Almelo/Hengelo, MST Enschede/Oldenzaal, and SKB Winterswijk work closely together regionally. Together with the Level 1 trauma center of MST in the region, this forms a solid foundation to further develop trauma care. You will become part of a team of 15 NVT-certified trauma surgeons (ZGT-MST-SKB-SXB). An open atmosphere prevails within the group, and lines of communication with each other and with adjacent specialties are short. You will contribute ideas regarding the care of the future and contribute to general surgical tasks, education, and further knowledge development. Science and innovation are important focal points within ChirCON. The collaboration with the University of Twente connects care, technology, and science, offering space to contribute to research and innovation. Additionally, within the Groningen region, ChirCON provides the full surgical training, including trauma differentiation. ChirCON also actively collaborates with the Ministry of Defence. Through this collaboration, it is possible to function as a reciprocal surgeon within the Institute for Cooperation Defence and Relational Hospitals (IDR). What do you get from ZGT and ChirCON? You will be given the space to further develop yourself as a trauma surgeon and to specifically profile yourself within trauma care. You will work in a large regional partnership in which trauma care, general surgical care, education, science, and innovation come together. Your primary workplace is ZGT in Almelo, with the possibility to also work at a second location. Within ChirCON, you will work together with a large group of experienced trauma surgeons and colleagues from other specialties. Furthermore, there is attention to professional autonomy and a healthy work-life balance. As of January 1, 2027, we offer membership in ChirCON for an all-round trauma surgeon. Why Twente?
