Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint Senior Clinical Fellows in Anaesthesia, with commencement dates in May 2026. The tenure of the post 24 months . 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. Despite not being recognised as ‘training posts’ they allow doctors to improve the breadth and depth of their experience in Anaesthetics. We are very supportive of those considering the CESR route and have had several fellows be successful in this process.

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.

The Anaesthetic services are split across two sites; and are one of 3 major trauma centres in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Whilst in post there will be plenty of opportunity to become involved in teaching, audit, and research. The department run local courses for both the primary and final FRCA and strongly encourage clinical fellows to take part in those as needed.

The post itself, will give the opportunity to rotate through the following sub-specialties – Cardiothoracic, Neuro-anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine, Obstetrics, Paediatrics, and General Anaesthesia for 3-month allocations. It would be expected that a Senior Clinical Fellow will be working with a degree of independence with senior consultant support and distant supervision available at all times. We would strongly support any audit and/or research interest, of which there is plenty to get involved with in the department.

The post holder will be expected to take part in the on-call rota which is currently a 1 in 8.
It is important to note that dependant upon previous experience; there may be a period of supernumerary work / local assessment prior to commencement on the on-call rota. In this period, basic pay will be applicable.

You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its employees. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.

The post holder will work closely with colleague to provide safe and holistic patient care. There will be the opportunity to do Paediatric Anaesthesia and Adult intensive care at hospitals not within our trust but whom we have a reciprocal arrangement with. (Sheffield Children’s Hospital and a busy local district general hospital).

There is On call associated with this post.

The appointee will participate in the administration of the department as required. For example, this may involve supervision of the Junior Staff, organisation of teaching or day to day administration as required by the consultants and the service.
