Applications are invited for a Subspecialty Senior Clinical Fellowship programme in Trauma Anaesthesia at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK.

This post is to start from 05 August 2026 until 03 August 2027.

This fellowship post would suit applicants who have completed or nearly completed a recognised anaesthetic specialist training programme, including someone who already possesses a CCT in anaesthesia.

The post offers the opportunity to develop and increase anaesthetic experience in anaesthesia for the major trauma patient, prior to taking up a consultant post.

The level of supervision will be tailored to the fellow’s prior experience with the ultimate aim of independent practice with distant supervision, so to work at junior consultant level with senior consultant support. The fellow would participate in a non-resident on call rota on a 1:8 frequency.

Please note that these posts do not carry Postgraduate Dean’s approval or training recognition.

Applicants must be registered with the GMC with a current licence to practice at time of commencement.

The applicant must have demonstrable skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking in English that enable effective communication about medical topics with patients and colleagues, as set out in the GMC’s Good Medical Practice (2013). Non-UK applicants must possess the IELTS/OET exam before obtaining a GMC licence to practice.

Applications from job seekers who require skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. For further information please visit the UK Visas and Immigration website.

It is a requirement for skilled worker applicants, applying for entry clearance into the UK, to present a criminal record certificate from each country they have resided continuously or cumulatively for 12 months or more in the past 10 years. Adult dependants (over 18 years old) will also be subject to this requirement.
