Main duties of the job

The current posts are for the Higher LED grade, with successful applicants required to participate in a 1:8 on-call rota (see template rota below). The on-call commitment may include time on intensive care, EPOC or obstetric anaesthesia, depending on experience. There will be the option to gain a breadth of theatre or intensive care experience during normal working day sessions if desired, with potential to develop expertise in a particular subspecialty of anaesthesia or intensive care. Previous applicants have gained experience in difficult airway management, tertiary trauma care and management of complex major burns, but many other opportunities exist. Please discuss any particular interests or requirements with the resident workforce lead prior to interview.

Although these posts are not recognised as training posts, opportunities for training will be provided and tailored to the needs of the individual applicant. All appointees will be given an educational supervisor and will have the support of our HJSD college tutor within the anaesthetic department. Successful applicants are encouraged to attend relevant teaching sessions and to undertake non-clinical projects whilst in post, to ensure that their time spent at the QE will help to guide and develop any future career ambitions.
