St Vincent's Hospital Sydney (SVHS) is establishing a dedicated Clinical Ethics Support Service (CESS) to provide structured, rapid-response ethical consultation to medical and surgical teams across the hospital. The CESS is an expression of St Vincent’s national commitment to uplift the place of clinical ethics across the organisations public and private, aged care, and virtual and at home services.

Focused on SVHS, the Provisional Fellow, Clinical Ethics, will play a foundational role in this new service, working alongside the Clinical Ethics Lead to deliver expert decision support to clinicians and health service managers confronting complex ethical questions in delivering patient care.

The Provisional Fellow will contribute to all five domains of the SVHS CESS: clinical ethics consultation, education and capacity building, organisational ethics and policy, research and scholarship, and service planning and development. This is a leadership position within the hospital community, offering a unique opportunity to help shape a new service, develop specialist expertise in applied bioethics, and produce scholarly work of significance.

Candidates with formal academic ethics training, active research in ethics-related fields, and demonstrated excellence in both academic writing and non-academic communication are particularly encouraged to apply.
