We are looking to recruit a Clinical Fellow (equivalent to CT3) in Anaesthetics in order to meet service needs from September 2024 to September 2025.

A candidate who is unable for personal reasons to undertake the duties of a whole-time post will receive equal consideration. If such a candidate is appointed the job content will be modified as appropriate in consultation with consultant colleagues and local management.

We welcome all applications irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race or religion. Additionally, people with disabilities will be offered an interview providing they meet the minimum criteria for the post. The Trust operates job share and flexible working.

Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will provide Anaesthesia and Critical Care services as timetabled by the Department. This includes both pre-operative assessment of patients and ongoing post-operative anaesthetic support of patients in Recovery Ward and beyond. The role also includes daytime, weekend and evening work. The appointee will be expected to contribute to a 1 in 8 full shift rota.

The Clinical Fellow program is designed to meet the individual learning needs of the individual applicant but is usually tailored to focus on specific sub-specialty areas of anaesthetic practice. The NNUH is a high volume tertiary centre and can offer high quality clinical exposure in anaesthesia.

It is expected that a minimum of one third of allocated theatre time will be in designated subspecialty training lists and supervised by a Consultant to an appropriate level.
