The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset.

A Senior Clinical Fellow post in Anaesthesia is available from February 2026 at the Oxford University Hospitals.

This is a 0.85 WTE post, offering the benefit of improved work/life balance, with a fixed day off midweek, while still offering development opportunities for candidates looking to pursue the portfolio pathway

We welcome applicants for the following post based across the hospitals of Oxford University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This two-year long post will allow the trainee exposure to various sub-specialties in Anaesthesia including but not limited to Vascular, Regional, Transplant, Major Cancer, Emergency, Trauma Anaesthesia, and Intensive Care Medicine.

This is a great opportunity to work with a friendly, supportive group of anaesthetists, which is part of the wider Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, in the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The post holder will work within the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust group of hospitals:

• The John Radcliffe Hospital – Trauma, Neuro, Obstetrics, Vascular, Airway, Plastics, Paediatrics, Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Intensive Care
• The Churchill Hospital – Transplant, Oncology, Airway, and Intensive Care
• The Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre
• Horton General Hospital (Banbury) – Day Surgery including Paediatrics.

The specific aims and objectives will be set by the Fellow in conjunction with their supervisors. The Fellowship will allow development of advanced skills in various anaesthesia disciplines including both planning and delivering anaesthesia to the most complex cases occurring in this specialist centre. There will be opportunities to work with distant, local and direct supervision.

On starting the post Fellows work under the direct supervision of senior staff until they have successfully completed appropriate induction to their new site of work. The Fellow will average three half day sessions per week of training activities supervised by a Senior Trainer. Every three months during the post (or more frequently if required) training will be reviewed by the Supervisor.
