MYDoc Clinical Fellow in Anaesthesia(UK Visa Sponsorship)

Job Description

About This Fellowship

The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust has created the MYDoc Clinical Fellow programme to support doctors who want flexibility, focused development, and high-quality clinical experience outside traditional training pathways.

These posts are ideal for doctors who are:

• Building experience before applying for anaesthetic specialty training, or
• Completing training and preparing for consultant applications, or
• Seeking a structured, supported role with strong educational value

Although these roles are not UK training posts, they are treated as trainee-equivalent positions. Each MYDoc Fellow will have a named clinical supervisor, access to formal educational activity, and documented outcomes to support future career progression.

Clinical Focus & Development Pathways

Depending on your interests and experience, the role offers opportunities in:

Regional Anaesthesia
You will work with experienced consultants across a wide range of surgical specialties, including trauma & orthopaedics, plastics, and burns. Regular supervised lists allow you to build a broad portfolio of regional anaesthetic techniques.

Simulation & Education
The department delivers regular multi-disciplinary simulation training, focusing on emergency scenarios and rare events. Fellows will contribute to both service delivery and the design and delivery of simulation-based education alongside consultants.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Deliver safe, high-quality anaesthetic care for elective and emergency patients
• Manage patients with acute and chronic medical conditions
• Participate in on-call rotas for obstetric anaesthesia, critical care, or acute services, depending on experience and competence
• Work closely within specialty and cross-specialty MDTs
• Contribute to departmental administration and service organisation
• Teach and supervise junior doctors and other healthcare professionals

Take an active role in audit, clinical governance, and service improvement in line with NHS standards
