Anaesthetists Needed for Global Surgical Projects
Anaesthetists are required for the increasing number of surgical projects that we manage around the world.
To work with us in this capacity, you need the flexibility to work with limited resources and face a variety of challenges, ranging from trauma patients to women requiring emergency caesarean sections.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Pre-operative assessment and resuscitation
- Post-operative care, including pain management
- Supervision of national staff in recovery rooms and wards
Be prepared for limited diagnostic equipment and facilities in the operating theatre; for example, there may not even be an X-ray machine.

If you''re interested but concerned about notice periods, we encourage you to apply. Your individual circumstances can be discussed during the interview process.
