Full-time substantive Consultant appointment with a responsibility to Adult Critical Care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
A recent vacancy has created the need for a Consultant in Adult Critical Care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The post's emphasis will be on Adult Critical Care for clinical work, however there will be opportunities for teaching, administration and development.
The contract will be for 10.0 PAs, split into 6.0 DCC PAs in Critical Care and 1.5 core SPA (plus 0.5 PAs for the first year). The remaining 2 PA could be utilised for further clinical or non-clinical work in critical care or in an associated speciality such as Anaesthesia to support the successful appointee's clinical experience and qualifications.
About the Role
The new Consultant will join the existing Team NUH workforce of 38 substantive Critical Care Consultants who work closely together and act as a very supportive group with a determined team ethos. This contributes to the provision of an ideal supportive environment for new consultant appointments into the advertised post.
The successful candidate will be expected to undertake formalised critical care rotations and must be able to work flexibly across the Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) and Nottingham City Hospital (NCH) campuses.
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.
A successful candidate will only be expected to take part in the adult critical care out of hours duty roster. Night on call frequency is currently 1:9 and weekend on call frequency 1:4.5. However, this is an annualised total and therefore may be more frequent than this over a 6 month period. This may change in the future with planned expansion in critical care bed numbers and consultant workforce.
The successful applicant will also be expected to carry out teaching duties as required.
New consultants will be able to choose a mentor from the existing Critical Care consultant team.
