After junior clinical posts at the Liverpool Royal Infirmary he spent two years as a demonstrator of anatomy, and was then appointed surgical tutor and registrar at the Royal Southern Hospital where he worked for eight years, the latter part of that period as honorary assistant surgeon. In 1926 he obtained the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the Fellowship of the English College in 1927. In this same year Unsworth was appointed honorary surgeon to Booth Hospital, and in 1933 he joined the staff of the Liverpool Stanley Hospital as assistant surgeon, becoming full surgeon in 1935. In 1935 he was also appointed to Mill Road Infirmary, and when it was closed in 1941 his unit was transferred to Broadgreen Hospital. He was a lecturer in clinical surgery and also an examiner in Liverpool University. These numerous appointments indicate his unusual gifts as a surgeon, for he was not only skilful but also so sound in his judgement that his colleagues frequently sought his advice in diagnosis and treatment. He was very keen on field sports, especially fishing and shooting, yet withal was modest and unassuming. Unfortunately he suffered a final distressing illness in which he was nursed by his devoted wife, Dr Gladys Unsworth. He died at his home in Liverpool on 21 July 1964, aged 63.
