Anaesthetics Clinical CESR Fellow (ST5+)

MN37

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

Barts Health supports the Pregnancy Loss Pledge and commits to supporting their staff through the distress of miscarriage.

Job overview

We are recruiting Clinical Fellows (ST5+ or equivalent) in Anaesthesia to apply for our CESR fellowship training programme.

·         x 2 to commence 4 February 2026

 This is a new initiative within Barts Health Trust and is designed as a 'run through' 3-year training scheme, set across 4 of our hospital sites; St Bartholomew's Hospital, Newham University Hospital, Whipps Cross Hospital and The Royal London Hospital.   This is offered as a 24-month contract to rotate through the hospitals, with an additional 12 months to support Specialist Interest Areas (S.I.A’s) as required.

These fellows will be appointed to the anaesthetic department and will be accountable to the Clinical Director within each site. Clinical Supervisors will be allocated on commencement of the job and Educational Supervisors will be allocated for each hospital within the rotation.

Applicants should be fully registered with the GMC; allowing them to work in the UK, and have an FRCA or equivalent qualification, along with at least 2 years anaesthetic experience in the National Health Service (NHS), at the time of interview.
