Orthopaedic Registrar

Inspire Medical is recruiting Orthopaedic Registrars for locum and fixed term vacancies at various locations across the country, in both HSE hospitals and private hospitals. Posts sit on the orthopaedic on-call rota of an acute hospital, covering the trauma take, the trauma and elective operating lists, fracture clinics and the orthopaedic wards.

Locum cover runs from single shifts to rolling blocks; fixed term contracts run from three months to a full six-month rotation aligned to the January and July changeovers. Salary and rates vary depending on whether the post is private or HSE — HSE posts pay on the HSE NCHD scale, private posts at the hospital’s own rate. General Registration with the Irish Medical Council is mandatory.
