Job description

Applications are invited for a full time post for a Consultant in Anaesthesia with a special interest in Paediatric Anaesthesia. The successful applicant would join a team of 7 (FTE) paediatric subspecialty anaesthetists who undertake a mix of paediatric and adult practice and cover a paediatric anaesthetic on call rota.

We are pleased to be able to offer a £10,000 welcome bonus* (pro-rata for a part-time appointment) to the successful candidate, paid on commencement of post. This is in addition to the usual Relocation expenses available to Consultant staff. *Terms and conditions apply.

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.

All consultants, including the appointee, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust’s Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal and risk management.

The appointee will be a member of the Consultant Staff Committee and be expected to serve on this committee.
