Consultant in Anaesthesia

£113.57k - £150.57k per annum
Full-time
Job summary
The Trust seeks to appoint a Consultant Anaesthetist. This is a whole-time position, and the new appointee will share the caseload, facilities, and trainee grade support with the existing consultants. Requirements of the post-holder are listed below.

The post is whole time post of 10 PA's and offers 8.5 programmed activities (PAs), and 1.5 SPA.

The successful candidate will be expected to provide pre-operative assessment, anaesthesia, and follow-up. He/she will be expected to introduce and apply new techniques as appropriate and to take a share of the general work of the department, including cover for consultant colleagues where practical. There are opportunities and support provided to develop leadership roles such as sub-specialty lead and college tutor.

The Department of Anaesthesia is committed to continuing its teaching role and considerable importance is attached to the support of the junior medical staff in the Department.

Main duties of the job
The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals. The appointee will take his/her share of clinical responsibilities within the Department of anaesthesia. This will include provision for clinics in the pre-operative assessment department. In addition to any duties within a subspeciality of interest, the appointee will be required to provide anaesthesia for adult and child patients in all specialties as appropriate to his/her training and experience.

There is a need to develop a team with a strong emphasis on delivering a cross-site service. Post-holders will be required to work on each site.

Consultants will agree to a job plan, which is reviewed annually.

About us
We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.

We're proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We're also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The majority of our 8,400 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
