At WWL, we value our staff believing that 'happy staff, makes for happy patients'. We have a recognised track record in staff engagement, and living our values 'the WWL Way'.

At WWL we value the benefits a rich and diverse workforce brings to our community and therefore welcome applications from all sections of society.

Detailed Job Description and Main Responsibilities

Although this is not a recognised training post, the daytime activity will allow development of skills in the chosen subspecialty interest (from above) with opportunities for quality improvement and audit. The hospital has its own Simulation centre and successful applicants would be encouraged to become involved in delivery of simulation teaching within the department and wider trust.

The successful applicants will take part in a rolling rota comprising normal days, long days and nights alongside deanery trainees, other fellows and specialty doctors. The out of hours cover is arranged across 3 areas (intensive care, theatres and obstetrics) and applicants may be expected to work on call within any of these tiers. Competency/experience across these areas will be assessed at interview. A full induction and assessment of competence will be made before any solo anaesthetic activity at the start of the post.

Recruitment Information for Applicants

Applications are scored against the person specification, therefore we recommend that you use the supporting information section of your application form to demonstrate how you meet the essential and desirable criteria for the role, providing illustrative examples where possible.
