We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly driven Consultant Anaesthetist with to join our expert and energetic team. We currently have two vibrant hospital sites each with a varied range of services available. Our hospitals are brimming with exemplary teams of hardworking individuals. 

Our Trust is on the brink of a once‑in‑a‑generation change. Backed by £312 million of investment, the Hospital Transformation Programme will create:

• A single acute site at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, home to a new 30‑bed Critical Care Unit, a modern Emergency Department, and a state‑of‑the‑art Women’s and Children’s Hospital
• A dedicated planned care site at The Princess Royal Hospital, supporting high‑quality elective surgery and improved patient flow

This is your opportunity to join us at the perfect moment — early enough to influence the design and delivery of future services, but close enough to opening that you’ll see your impact become reality.

We are delighted to offer one post involving regular general anaesthesia sessions. The successful applicant will work sessions on both hospital sites with on-calls based at The Princess Royal Hospital. Please note that we are restructuring services in preparation for the HTP and as such future on calls may include anaesthesia on-calls on one or both sites. There are also opportunities to get involved in pre-operative assessment clinics, paediatric anaesthesia and day case anaesthesia in our brand-new elective hub, which opened in June 2024.
