We are looking to appoint a Trust grade anaesthetist (equivalent level ST4) to our large, cohesive and forward-looking department. Candidates with independent core anaesthesia skills are most welcome to apply.  This must include the IAC and IAOC. The primary FRCA is desirable but not essential. Participation in the trainee on call rota relevant to training grade is essential - this will include contribution to the obstetric and ICU rota out of ours. Further career development and training will be flexible and encouraged by the department.  You will be given an Educational Supervisor and you will be encouraged and supported to sign off competencies.

We are the largest hospital in the Southwest Peninsula, and offer a secondary care service to approximately 500 000 patients, and a tertiary care service to a further 1.5 million. Almost all adult surgical specialties are catered for, and we are the main paediatric surgical hospital in the peninsula. A successful applicant will be joining a department that has held ACSA Accreditation since 2015 and is proud of its collegiate spirit and cohesiveness. We have a strong track record in clinical excellence & translational research, and receive very strong feedback from our rotating trainees.

Please refer to the job packs for further details including the job plans and requirements for the posts.
