Reference: 2437804
Job summary
Please note: at this stage, the role is open only to colleagues currently employed within Kent and Medway NHS Trusts, the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Medway Community Healthcare or working on the Staff Bank within these organisations. Nursing and AHP vacancies are also open to Student Nurses and Newly Qualified Nurses/AHPs.
Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist with at least four years' post-registration experience, or already working in a respiratory specialty role?
Join the East Kent Specialist Community Respiratory Service, a multidisciplinary team committed to reducing hospital admissions and supporting patients to manage their conditions confidently at home. Working across Ashford and the South Kent Coast, you will deliver group interventions and home visits, empowering patients through self-management, symptom control, behaviour change, and personalised support.
Based at Trinity House, Ashford, you will manage a varied caseload across Ashford, Dover, Aylesham, Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh, making a meaningful difference to patients' quality of life.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop specialist respiratory skills within an innovative, patient-centred service that values collaboration, creativity and continuous improvement.

Join our specialist respiratory team supporting people with complex, long-term respiratory conditions to live well at home and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions.

Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will identify vulnerable patients, coordinate appropriate interventions, and act when a person's safety or wellbeing is at risk. You will also undertake equipment and environmental assessments to maximise independence and function.
This role offers the opportunity to develop and maintain specialist expertise in respiratory care while supporting and supervising colleagues, contributing to service development and the growth of clinical competencies across the wider workforce.
If you are passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care and ready to take the next step into a rewarding specialist role, we would love to hear from you.

Posted 12 day(s) ago
Reference: 2435092
Job summary
A twelve-month Locum Consultant Anaesthetist position is available to start as soon as possible.
We are delighted at your interest in joining our Anaesthetics department at the Royal Surrey Hospital.
We are a department that provides a consultant-led service to dynamic surgical teams at the cutting edge of surgical innovation. Our department prides itself in allowing individuals to develop and bring their own areas of expertise and interest to what is already a very diverse mix of special interests. These include the more conventional areas such as examinerships, deanery roles, quality improvement, editorships, fellowship leads etc; but have expanded to medical examiner roles, mortality reviews, clinical risk, project management, ethics, management roles within the trust and even Magistracy.
Main duties of the job
There is increasing demand for anaesthetic support for procedures away from theatres, with endoscopy, interventional radiology and radiotherapy being at the forefront of expansion recently. These are relatively new areas of demand, and along with an expansion of elective obstetrics and obstetric clinics offers a new consultant niche areas to organise and streamline. We are also expanding our pre-assessment service including a greater provision of consultant-led high-risk anaesthetic clinics and CPET.
The department has historically led the way in holding senior deanery roles and we would look to new consultants to join our group of educational supervisors.
Work has started on a purpose built, modular, ambulatory care centre - the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre (CASIC) - in the grounds of the RSFT that will give us additional capacity of 6 new theatres and associated facilities. Expected to come online in 2026, this exciting development opens up new opportunities to appointees. This will include involvement in planning new protocols and pathways for the area.
About us
Royal Surrey is a compassionate and collaborative acute and community Trust. Recognising that our 5,000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing programme alongside a strong commitment to developing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family ensures you feel valued from your initial interview and throughout your time with us.
We are clinically led and provide joined-up care by bridging hospital and community services, alongside delivering regional specialist cancer care.

We work in partnership with Ashford & St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust through a collaborative Group Model, supporting joined-up services, workforce flexibility and development opportunities.
