Job Overview
Specialty Doctor in Anaesthetics
The Anaesthetics Department at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic new specialty doctor to join our team.
The post consists of provision of anaesthesia on supervised weekday elective operating lists, and evening and weekend resident cover for emergency theatres, labour ward or critical care. The successful applicant will join a 1 in 9 resident rota (one of four out-of-hours resident rotas in anaesthetics and critical care).
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications. We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Main duties of the job
We are a friendly department, with supportive colleagues and many opportunities for career development. The surrounding areas provide many amenities and exciting activities for individuals and families, and despite being in a rural area, there is also easy access by road or rail to major UK cities.
Further information about the post may be obtained by contacting Dr Gareth Mula, Clinical Lead by email Gareth.Mula2@wales.nhs.uk
As part of the Health Board’s strategic collaboration with Bangor University, individuals with an interest in teaching and research who can demonstrate and agree a possible contribution to the School can be considered and nominated for recognition through the University’s process for granting honorary titles and help to deliver our shared vision for the North Wales School of Medicine and Health.
The advert may be closed early if sufficient applications have been received.
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.
