We have several exciting opportunities for anaesthetists looking for positions at the John Hunter Hospital. We are a large department of more than 130 Consultant Anaesthetists made up of a mix of Staff Specialists and VMOs with the largest training scheme in NSW.

Your practice in Newcastle will provide a rare opportunity to care for patients across all major subspecialties including paediatrics. You will be able to work between the John Hunter and Belmont hospitals allowing a diverse caseload and the chance to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across different settings. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in our active and well-regarded regional and perioperative services, or our very busy acute pain service with a strong emphasis on interventional pain modalities.

We have a solid framework to support clinical trials and health services research with emerging programs focused on evidence based multidisciplinary perioperative care and Human Factors. Applicants with a passion for education or systems improvement research will have the opportunity to work with the HNE Simulation Centre, one of the busiest and longest running centres in Australia.

Newcastle is geographically blessed with stunning beaches, inland waterways, coastal walks, great sporting teams, a great sense of community spirit, and close proximity to both the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens. We have everything except traffic!
