You will join a supportive and highly skilled team of four paediatric cardiac anaesthetic consultants, contributing to a well‑established and collaborative service.

Applicants must hold full GMC registration and be on the Specialist Register, or be within six months of achieving CCT at the time of interview. Substantial prior experience in paediatric cardiac anaesthesia is essential. Applicants working towards a CESR will also be eligible to apply.

This is an excellent opportunity to work within a department that is developing its service again after a period of service reduction, while enjoying all that one of the UK’s most vibrant cities has to offer.
