Apply Firstly, you can expect an excellent standard of care. For example, for every anaesthetic, we use the best drugs (only sevo gas) and everything has an IV placed and gets fluids. We use a range of anaesthetic monitors, we manually chart, we supervise, we train, we record incidents and we review our practice and process in a supportive way. We have 20 minute consultations as standard and make sure you have time for work-ups and surgery. We want you to have time the time to give the care you want to give, in an environment that stimulates and supports you. You can expect excellent support, enough consultations, dedicated surgery/procedure time and lots of on-going mentoring/support from team members with a wide range of experience. You can also expect a friendly, welcoming and open culture from top to bottom. We want humble, kind teammates, who enjoy their work, and can have a laugh.

Our Rota
We would welcome full and/or part time applicants. Our full-time rota typically looks like: 4 weekdays (Monday - Friday) 3 x 11 & 1 x 4.5 hour shifts = 37.5 hours per week. 1:3 weekends which is 1 in 6 Saturdays: 8:30am - 3:00pm and 1 in 6 Saturdays and Sundays both days 9:00am - 7:00pm. To clarify this means working every third weekend; one weekend a ‘short’ Saturday and the following an ‘extended’ Saturday and Sunday. We give you an 11-hour day off in lieu in the week after you have worked a Sunday so all this averages to 40 hours per week.
