The advertised split post is in Critical Care & Anaesthesia and will be predominantly based at the Grange University Hospital near Cwmbran. The successful candidate will have a 10 session contract and will participate in the ICU on call rota (frequency currently 1:16). The successful candidate may in future, with agreement following job planning, work flexibly to provide critical care and anaesthesia across the Health Board and may increase their total sessional commitment up to a maximum of 12 sessions.

Substantive post holders will undertake 7 DCC's and 3 SPA sessions per week. Applicants are expected to take part in the anaesthetics on call rota at the Grange University Hospital.
