The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to the delivery of high standards throughout the surgical patient pathway.
Responsibilities will include preparing operating theatres, checking equipment and instrumentation, and ensuring all required consumables are available before procedures commence. You will undertake scrub duties for a range of major surgical procedures, anticipating the needs of the surgeon and wider theatre team while maintaining strict adherence to aseptic technique. You will also assist with patient positioning, surgical counts, specimen handling, documentation and the safe transfer of patients between departments.
The role requires a strong understanding of theatre policies, infection prevention and control, safeguarding, manual handling, health and safety, and applicable professional standards. You will be expected to identify and escalate concerns promptly, contribute to effective communication during procedures, and support the investigation and prevention of incidents. Maintaining accurate records and helping to monitor stock, equipment and clinical resources will also form part of the position.
Applicants should have relevant theatre experience, including substantial exposure to major surgery, and hold appropriate professional registration or qualifications for the role. You will need excellent knowledge of surgical instrumentation and perioperative practice, together with the ability to remain calm and organised in a high-pressure setting. Strong communication skills, sound clinical judgement and a collaborative approach are essential.
This opportunity would suit a conscientious and adaptable professional who takes pride in delivering consistently high standards of patient care. You should be willing to participate in training, skills development and service improvement activities, and be able to work flexibly across shifts, including evenings, nights, weekends or on-call duties where required.
