Urology Scrub
An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Urology Scrub professional to join a busy operating theatre team. The successful candidate will support the safe and effective delivery of urological procedures, working closely with surgeons, anaesthetists, operating department practitioners and nursing colleagues.
Responsibilities will include preparing the operating theatre, checking specialist instruments and equipment, and ensuring all required consumables are available before each procedure. You will act as a competent scrub practitioner across a range of urological cases, maintaining aseptic technique and anticipating the needs of the surgical team. Duties may include supporting procedures such as endourology, cystoscopy, transurethral surgery, ureteroscopy, stent insertion and other elective or emergency interventions.
You will be responsible for completing instrument, swab and needle counts accurately, handling specimens in accordance with local policy, and contributing to effective infection prevention and control. Maintaining accurate documentation, supporting patient positioning and skin preparation, and responding appropriately to changes during surgery will also be key aspects of the role. You will be expected to promote a positive patient experience and uphold privacy, dignity and confidentiality at all times.
Applicants should hold current professional registration and have relevant operating theatre experience, with demonstrable knowledge of urological procedures and scrub practice. A recognised perioperative or operating department qualification is desirable, alongside evidence of continuing professional development. You must be able to work calmly and safely in a fast-paced environment, communicate effectively with colleagues and demonstrate excellent attention to detail.
Flexibility is essential, as the role may include varied shift patterns, weekends, on-call duties or emergency theatre cover. You will be expected to contribute to team development, support learners and participate in audits, quality improvement initiatives and theatre governance activities. A commitment to professional standards, patient safety and collaborative working is essential.
