Description
We have exciting opportunities for three Specialist Grades in Anaesthetics to join our leading orthopaedic centre of excellence.

We are a specialist hospital and are looking for colleagues with an interest in orthopaedic anaesthesia to provide anaesthesia and per-operative care for all aspects of orthopaedic surgery.


This is a particularly exciting time for the Trust, as will shortly open our new additional theatre which will deliver increased surgical activity.


Set in idyllic surroundings, with beautiful places to live within commuting distance, and excellent schooling available, the job also offers fantastic flexibility and work-life balance.

The Trust has excellent transport links, 30 minutes by road from Chester and Shrewsbury. Manchester and Liverpool airports are about an hour by road, and Birmingham airport 90 minutes.

The M54 motorway provides quick access to the national motorway network and there are reasonable rail links from Gobowen via Shrewsbury or Chester.

These full time posts comprise 8.5 PA for direct clinical care with 1.5 supporting professional activities (SPA).

The On-Call commitment for the post is low frequency, anticipated to be 1:15/1:16.


The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic NHS Trust (RJAH) is one of the leading orthopaedic hospitals in the country, with some of the highest levels of staff and patient satisfaction, as well as a strong reputation for research and innovation.


Joining RJAH is more than just a job - we want our people to have the best opportunities to thrive in their role.


We have a range of fantastic staff benefits on offer to everyone who joins RJAH and you'll have access to outstanding professional development opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities - including our recently-opened £6 million Headley Court Veterans' Orthopaedic Centre (the first unit of its kind in the UK).

RJAH has strong links with a range of universities including Staffordshire, Keele, Glyndwr, Chester and Birmingham.

The hospital is located on a site outside Oswestry in Oswestry, just off the A5. The nearest train station is in Gobowen, approximately two miles from the hospital. The station is part of the Chester to Birmingham line.

We are based in North Shropshire, close to the border with North and Mid Wales.

It is one of the most attractive parts of the country, with a rich historic culture and excellent transport links.

It offers outstanding opportunities for anyone who enjoys an outdoor lifestyle or is looking to raise a family.

The post will involve all aspects of peri-operative anaesthetic care for orthopaedic and spinal surgery and the postholder will be expected to:
Ensure effective and open communication with anaesthetic and surgical colleagues.


Take part in all aspects of pre, intra and postoperative anaesthetic care for both inpatient and day case orthopaedic surgery.

Demonstrate a degree of flexibility in their working patterns, as demanded by a Senior Doctor-based service.

Provide in-theatre and formal training for rotating specialist registrars, anaesthetic fellows, nurses, ODPs and colleagues.

Assess patients' fitness for surgery within the pre-op clinic, both directly and indirectly by supervising nursing colleagues.
