Registrar Anaesthetist

Inspire Medical is recruiting Registrar Anaesthetists for locum and fixed term vacancies at various locations across the country, in both HSE hospitals and private hospitals. Posts sit on the anaesthesia on-call rota of an acute hospital, covering elective and emergency theatre lists, obstetric anaesthesia and the intensive care unit where the hospital has one.

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.

• Respond to cardiac arrest, rapid response and difficult airway calls as part of the hospital team.
• Supervise SHOs where rostered, and hand over safely at the start and end of every shift.
