About the role

Consultant Anaesthetist

We are looking for a candidate to join our team of anaesthetists working across our various sites to provide high level anaesthetic provision.

Torbay hospital has a reputation for having a friendly working environment, has excellent trainee feedback and is a national innovator in many areas including day surgery and peri-operative medicine.

We are one of the first departments in the country to have undergone and completed ACSA reaccreditation successfully, and the hospital is part of the HIP2 wave of major rebuild and refurbishment, which includes a new theatres build and will place a transformative digital environment at the heart of patient care.

Successful applicants will take part in the general on-call rota at Torbay and as such obstetric and paediatric anaesthetic skills are essential. Our on-call commitment has evolved to provide the highest quality consultant-delivered service whilst supporting a healthy work-life balance. General anaesthetists contribute to a 1 in 20 non-resident on call rota.

You will provide high quality consultant delivered care to all patients and provide clinical leadership and supervision to junior medical staff.
