Are you looking for a position which will challenge and stretch you, where no two days are the same? Do you have a positive attitude and are you committed to embarking on a new career pathway? Then read on - you may be the right person for us! Previous experience in Theatres is desirable but not essential as competency-based in-house training will be provided. It's an exciting time for the Theatres Department at UHCW; we are recruiting for UHCW Theatres (Main). This covers 32 Operating Theatres and 2 Treatment Rooms. Our Theatre areas offer you the opportunity to work in a varied selection of specialities including Orthopaedics, Plastics, Breast, Urology, Head and Neck, General, Multi-speciality Robotic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular, Renal, Obstetrics, and Ophthalmology. As a Major Trauma centre, we cover all aspects of Trauma and Emergency surgery. We are passionate about delivering the highest standard of Patient-Centred care and work closely with Surgical Speciality Groups to plan our lists and ensure maximum efficiency and utilisation. In recent years, our Theatres have achieved large gains in productivity and efficiency through improved capacity management and real-time tracking of Theatre activity. Main duties of the job
If successful, you will be supported in your role whether you are new to Theatre or an experienced Theatre Practitioner. A structured induction programme and ongoing training will ensure you gain the skills required. We have vacancies in Anaesthetics, Scrub, and Recovery and will offer support for you to develop competencies in more than one of these areas. We require highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join our forward-thinking team.
