Job overview

Consultant Anaesthetist

We are delighted to seek applications for the post of Consultant Anaesthetist to join our team at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust.

If you are looking for an Anaesthetics team that has a reputation for being extremely friendly and supportive and is highly regarded by trainees in the region then join our people and be a part of the incredible department here at Salisbury. In addition to strong interests in medical education and service improvement, including enhanced recovery and pain management, our Consultants enhance the profile of the department through their engagement in a variety of wider Trust activities and transformation work.

Sub-specialty interests could be accommodated across the range of specialties at our hospital including paediatric anaesthesia, pain medicine, obstetric anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, orthopaedic anaesthesia and preoperative assessment.

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 12th February 2024 face to face.

Main duties of the job

In this role you will be required to contribute to the provision of anaesthetic services across the Trust as part of a team of 33 Consultants, 3 Specialists,10 SAS doctors and 24 trainees.  Alongside the usual range of district hospital surgical specialities, here at Salisbury we have a regional Plastic Surgery and Burns service and a supra-regional Spinal Injuries service.

This is a 10 PA post (initially 8.5 DCC PA:1.5 SPA), but it is likely that an additional programmed activity could be offered to the successful candidate.   The proportion of SPA would increase in line with increasing responsibilities after appointment.   The successful applicant would take part in the general on call rota with a frequency of 1:16.

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust (SFT) is an innovative hospital with a proud heritage and over 250 years of experience behind us. Here we’re driven to deliver an outstanding experience for everyone and have been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment we continue to provide for our patients and also our staff.

We have about 470 beds and employ over 4000 staff.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service.  We think working here is pretty rewarding.  You can access a range of NHS discounts, receive a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme. On-site benefits include car parking (fee applies), leisure centre, day nursery and holiday play scheme.
