Job overview
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint LAS Specialty Registrar (CT4 / ST4+ equivalent ) in Anaesthesia, with start as soon as possible. The tenure of all posts is 6 to 12 months (possible extension if required). The posts do not attract a National Training Number.
The posts are based within the existing teams with access to departmental teaching and other developmental opportunities.

Full registration with the GMC with a licence to practise is required, and if the appointee does not hold right of residence in the UK sponsorship will be required.
