Locum Consultant Anaesthetist

Applications are invited for enthusiastic and highly motivated anaesthetists to join our friendly and supportive department. We are seeking to recruit a 6 month locum Consultant Anaesthetist post to our current department of 25 whole time equivalents. This post have arisen due to vacancies. This advertisement is for a whole-time consultant role (10.5 PAs). On-call commitment equates to 1:8 which involves covering theatres and level 2 critical care services. This is non-resident on call and attracts a 5% salary uplift in addition to the weekly clinical job plan. The advertised 10.5 PA already includes this allocation. These job plans will include 1.5 of core SPA with up to 1 SPA available on taking on additional roles. One example is that successful applicants could contribute significantly to the current commitment of successfully completing ACSA within the coming two years (Accreditation of Clinical Services in Anaesthesia via the Royal College of Anaesthetists). Within our department are five substantive anaesthetic specialty doctors, who along with rotational Anaesthetists in Training have theatre sessions, pre-operative assessment sessions and cover the resident high dependency rota. There are also five anaesthetic associates working within our department. They work under the supervision of a consultant anaesthetist in line with the current RCOA recommendations in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2. Twin theatre working is embedded in our rota.
