Specialty Doctor in Anaesthetics and ITU
3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Anaesthetist to join the Anaesthetics and Critical Care team at Yeovil District Hospital, part of Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
The post is for a Specialty Doctor in Anaesthetics and ICU, offering a full-time contract with an average of 48 hours per week. The role involves a mix of elective daytime theatre work and resident on‑call shifts, including nights and weekends, covering theatres, intensive care and, in the future, obstetric anaesthesia when services resume in 2026. Applicants must have at least four years' experience in anaesthesia, be capable of managing ASA I-III patients independently, and be confident in initial ICU airway management for ASA I-IV cases. While obstetrics is not currently operational, the postholder will be expected to provide epidural and Caesarean section anaesthesia once the service reopens. Full GMC registration is essential, and a UK/EU‑recognised ALS, ATLS or ETC certificate is required at the time of application or within six months of appointment.
The department offers strong support for ongoing professional development, including CESR progression, FRCA preparation and involvement in teaching, audit and governance. The postholder will work alongside a team of consultants, specialty doctors, trainees and fellows, and may have opportunities for cross‑site experience at Musgrove Park Hospital. Informal visits are welcomed.
