About the Role
University Sussex Hospitals are looking for two outstanding substantive consultant anaesthetists to join our team at the Sussex Cardiac Centre working in a fantastic area of the country. Our anaesthetic department is dynamic and has an excellent reputation for teaching, research and innovation for the benefit of our population. The successful applicants will have the opportunity to hone and expand their clinical skills in addition to developing services within University Hospitals Sussex and our partner organisations.
These posts have arisen due to the retirement of colleagues and offer the successful candidates the opportunity to work at both the Royal Sussex County (just a few minutes walk from the beach) and the Princess Royal set in the beautiful Sussex countryside. Aside from Cardiac surgery and Cardiology services, the department offers a mixture of tertiary general work such as Vascular, Major Trauma, Gynae Oncology and Head and Neck, as well as general anaesthetic work including Obstetrics, Colorectal, Orthopaedics and Urology, and any new post holders would become equal participants in our existing teams.
Key Responsibilities
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.
- Clinical Work: Considerable experience in the delivery of anaesthesia for a wide range of elective and emergency cardiac surgery and cardiology procedures is expected, as well as managing the needs of cardiac patients on intensive care. The nature of the non-cardiac specialist work undertaken is flexible but can be tailored to the successful candidates interests and skill set by agreement.
- On Call Rota: Participation in a dedicated cardiac on call rota based at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, with 3 tiers of junior doctor on site to support the breadth of the activity occurring out of hours.
- Service Development: Plenty of opportunities for leading service development and quality improvement projects and experience/enthusiasm for these areas would be welcomed.
- Education and Training: We are a large teaching department with an associated medical school so we expect all consultants to participate in the education and training of medical and non-medical colleagues. Those with a proven track record of delivering education to these groups will find plenty to occupy themselves.
