Critical Care Fellows

Permanent Full Time and Part Time roles available

Interview Dates: 24/2/26 and 4/3/26

The hospital is London’s leading charitable hospital, and uniquely its business model is that all are used to part fund an NHS commissioned hospice, St Johns Hospice, which is an integral part of the hospital’s estate. St Johns Hospice provides high quality, holistic care to those with life-limiting illnesses and their families across North London, all completely free of charge.

The hospital seeks to appoint appropriately skilled and motivated Critical Care Fellows to support the work undertaken within the hospital, including providing resident doctor cover for the 4 HDU beds. The Critical Care Fellow is one of two doctors resident within the hospital 24/7, the other being a ward RMO. Whilst the Critical Care Fellow primarily is expected to provide care to adults, experience in paediatric anaesthesia or critical care would be advantageous.

Of note, during the time that there are daycase paediatric cases on site, a dedicated Anaesthetic Paediatric Registrar provides the primary cover for such patients, with support from the patient Consultant Surgeon and Anaesthetist, plus a Consultant Paediatrician.

Located in leafy St Johns Wood on the Jubilee line, minutes from Central London, our luxury private Hospital has an international reputation for providing the highest quality of care to patients and is unique in that all profits fund our onsite Hospice, St Johns.
