We are seeking an experienced Gynae Scrub Practitioner to join a busy operating theatre team. This role will involve providing safe, effective and compassionate perioperative care to patients undergoing a range of gynaecological procedures. You will work closely with surgeons, anaesthetists, recovery staff and other members of the multidisciplinary team to ensure each operation is delivered to a high standard.
Your responsibilities will include preparing the theatre, equipment and instruments before each procedure; completing safety checks in line with local policies; maintaining a sterile field; and anticipating the needs of the surgical team throughout the operation. You will undertake instrument, swab and needle counts, handle specimens correctly, support infection prevention procedures and ensure accurate documentation is completed. You may also be required to assist with circulating duties and contribute to the safe transfer and positioning of patients.
The successful candidate will be a registered nurse or operating department practitioner with relevant theatre experience, ideally within gynaecology. You will have sound knowledge of aseptic technique, surgical instrumentation, perioperative policies and patient safety standards. Experience of working across a variety of gynaecological procedures, including laparoscopic and emergency cases, would be advantageous.
You should be organised, calm under pressure and able to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment. Excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential, together with a professional, caring approach to patients and colleagues. You must be committed to maintaining high clinical standards, supporting continuous improvement and keeping your knowledge and skills up to date.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated theatre professional to develop their career within a supportive and collaborative clinical environment. Flexible working may be required to meet service needs, including weekends, evenings or on-call duties.
