Senior Clinical Fellow

Northampton General Hospital NHS (UHN) Trust is seeking a skilled and motivated anaesthetist to join its Anaesthetics & Critical Care department as a Senior Clinical Fellow. This is an exceptional opportunity for a doctor at ST3-equivalent level, or above, to work in a high-performing, supportive department with genuine breadth of clinical exposure across a fully equipped modern theatre suite, a busy obstetric unit, and a brand new 16-bed Level 3 ICU.

The department offers more than a clinical post. With 11 dedicated ICM consultants, a strong culture of education and mentorship, and an explicit commitment to supporting post holders in long-term career progression, including transition to SAS roles and the CESR pathway, this is a post designed for doctors who want to invest in a department that will invest back in them.

The post is offered on a fixed-term basis, initially for 2 years, subject to satisfactory performance, with a 6-month probationary period. Clinical time is divided across theatres, labour ward, and the ICU, with rotations typically organised in 3-month blocks. Initially, for the first 6 months, clinical time will be based on the ICU with support from the consultant faculty to integrate into the department and the trust. While this is a locally employed (non-training) post and does not count towards CCT, the department provides a structured, supervised, and educationally rich environment with genuine opportunities for subspecialty development.

Northampton General Hospital is one of the largest employers in the area and we are on an exciting journey. All of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and become University Hospitals of Northamptonshire.
