ST3+ Anaesthesia Fellowships
We are offering 12 to 24-month fixed term ST3+ Anaesthesia Fellowships based at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. The fellow posts are designed to support development of RCoA Stage 2 (ST4-equivalent) capabilities and strengthen applications for Higher Training pathways.
These posts are development focused, not solely service roles, providing structured opportunities to build a strong portfolio alongside ongoing clinical anaesthetic practice and on-call commitments.
About the Hospital

A wide range of day case surgical specialties are supported, including dental and maxillofacial surgery, ENT (including paediatrics), ophthalmology, interventional radiology, MRI, and endoscopy. Emergency theatre cover is provided daily.
Theatre Complex
Anaesthetic services are delivered across a modern theatre complex comprising:
- 5 main operating theatres
- 2 day-surgery theatres
- 2 endovascular theatres
- 1 ophthalmic theatre
- A 4-theatre elective orthopaedic unit
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The surgical pathway is supported by busy specialist pre-assessment clinics.
Critical Care Services
Critical care services include a 6-bedded Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) and a 4-bedded High Dependency Unit (HDU).
Role Description
The post holder will undertake ST3+ level anaesthetic duties, including elective and emergency work, with participation in a 1:8 on-call rota covering the Intensive Care Unit, with additional responsibility for providing anaesthetic support to emergency surgical activity as required.
Alongside clinical work, the fellow completes a subspecialty fellowship in one chosen area. Duties include:
- Providing safe perioperative care
- Participating in subspecialty activity and MDTs
- Completing Stage 2 workplace-based assessments
- Contributing to QIP/audit/research
- Supporting teaching
- Engaging in governance and service development
Fellows are supervised by a named Educational Supervisor and subspecialty leads, with all experience mapped to RCoA Stage 2 outcomes. SPA time is provided for project work. These posts suit ST3+ doctors seeking development and portfolio strengthening for Higher Training or CESR.
