We are delighted to invite applications for two Specialty Doctors in Anaesthesia and Critical Care at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust.
This is a career-defining opportunity for experienced SAS doctors with ambitions towards CESR or clinical excellence within a large, innovative and forward-thinking anaesthetic department. The successful candidates will work across Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Obstetric Anaesthesia, with opportunities to develop sub-specialty interests.
About the Role
Our department supports flexible job planning, well-being, and educational development. With a strong CESR mentorship programme, state-of-the-art MMUH facilities, and an outstanding team culture, this role offers both professional growth and job satisfaction.
Key Responsibilities
The successful Specialty Doctors will play a key role in delivering high-quality anaesthetic and critical care services across a range of clinical settings within the Trust. You will participate in the resident on-call rota (1:10), rotating through Critical Care, Obstetric Anaesthesia, and the Resident Additional Anaesthetist Cover (RAAC), covering evening and night duties. Daytime duties will include the provision of anaesthesia for elective and emergency surgery, including general theatres, obstetrics, and remote site anaesthesia (e.g., endoscopy, CT, and MRI). You will also have opportunities to contribute to our state-of-the-art 32-bed Critical Care Unit, participating in supervised and independent management of complex cases, and supporting outreach services for deteriorating patients on the wards.
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.
In Obstetric Anaesthesia, your responsibilities will encompass epidural services, labour analgesia, and anaesthesia for elective and emergency Caesarean sections, working closely with a multidisciplinary maternity team within one of the busiest inner-city obstetric units in the region. You will be encouraged to develop and lead on a sub-specialty interest, such as regional anaesthesia, pre-assessment, trauma, education, peri-operative medicine or simulation.
