We are looking to welcome a consultant anaesthetist to primarily work within our paediatric specialist surgical centre and be on the paediatric on call rota, but be willing and able to flex to cover work within our adult theatre complex. The job plan will incorporate, on average, one session in adult theatres per week to maintain skill, subject to mutual agreement.
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. We are a major trauma centre. Almost all adult surgical specialties are catered for, including cardiac, neurosurgery, thoracics and paediatrics. A successful applicant will be joining a welcoming and friendly department that has held ACSA Accreditation since 2015 and is proud of its collegiate spirit. We have a strong track record in clinical excellence & translational research, and receive very positive feedback from our rotating trainees. We understand the need to accommodate a healthy work life balance and aim to support flexible working.
