Consultant Anaesthetist
We are looking for a candidate to join our team of anaesthetists working across our various sites to provide high-level anaesthetic provision.
Torbay Hospital has a reputation for having a friendly working environment, has excellent trainee feedback, and is a national innovator in many areas, including day surgery and peri-operative medicine.
We are one of the first departments in the country to have undergone and completed ACSA reaccreditation successfully, and the hospital is part of the HIP2 wave of major rebuild and refurbishment, which includes a new theatres build and will place a transformative digital environment at the heart of patient care.
Successful applicants will take part in the general on-call rota at Torbay, and as such, obstetric and paediatric anaesthetic skills are essential. Our on-call commitment has evolved to provide the highest quality consultant-delivered service while supporting a healthy work-life balance. General anaesthetists contribute to a 1 in 20 non-resident on-call rota.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
