We welcome all applications irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race or religion. Additionally, people with disabilities will be offered an interview providing they meet the minimum criteria for the post. The Trust operates job share and flexible working.

The James Paget University Hospital, The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Kings Lynn are now working in partnership as the Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group.

Some of the clinical procedures or services the appointee will be expected to deliver may be based at sites other than their primary site of employment.

The appointee will take their share of clinical responsibilities within the Department of Anaesthesia.
