An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Orthopaedic and ENT Scrub Practitioner to join a busy operating theatre team. This role will suit a motivated and adaptable theatre professional with a strong interest in foot and ankle orthopaedics, as well as ear, nose and throat procedures. You will contribute to the delivery of safe, effective and patient-centred care throughout the perioperative pathway.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary theatre team, you will prepare operating rooms, equipment and instruments for a range of procedures, ensuring that all required items are available, checked and appropriately maintained. You will undertake scrub duties for orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery and ENT procedures, anticipating the needs of the surgeon and maintaining a safe and efficient sterile environment.
Your responsibilities will include completing surgical counts, handling specimens correctly, supporting infection prevention and control procedures, and maintaining accurate documentation. You will also assist with the safe transfer, positioning and preparation of patients, communicating professionally with colleagues and providing reassurance to patients and their relatives where appropriate. A commitment to clinical governance, risk management and continuous improvement is essential.
Applicants should hold an appropriate professional registration and have demonstrable experience within an operating theatre environment. Experience of orthopaedic and ENT procedures is highly desirable, alongside a sound understanding of sterile technique, surgical safety protocols and relevant legislation. You must be able to work effectively under pressure, prioritise competing demands and respond calmly to changing clinical circumstances.
The successful candidate will be a reliable team player with excellent communication and organisational skills. You will be expected to participate in departmental training, maintain your professional development and support junior colleagues and learners. A flexible approach to working hours, including participation in shift patterns, weekends or on-call arrangements where required, is also important.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop your specialist theatre skills within a supportive and professional environment. If you are committed to high standards of patient care and are looking to broaden your experience across orthopaedic and ENT surgery, your application would be welcomed.
