Gynae Scrub
An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Gynae Scrub professional to join a busy operating theatre team. You will support the safe and effective delivery of high-quality care for patients undergoing a wide range of gynaecological procedures, working collaboratively with surgeons, anaesthetists, operating department practitioners, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Your responsibilities will include preparing the operating theatre, checking equipment and instruments, and ensuring all required consumables are available before each procedure. You will act as the scrub practitioner during surgery, maintaining a sterile field, anticipating the needs of the surgical team, handling instruments safely and accurately, and completing all relevant swab, needle and instrument counts. You will also contribute to patient safety by following infection prevention, safeguarding and clinical governance procedures.
The role will involve supporting patients before, during and after surgery, maintaining dignity and confidentiality at all times. You will assist with the preparation and positioning of patients, communicate effectively with colleagues, and contribute to accurate documentation and safe transfer of care. Depending on experience and service requirements, you may also support circulating duties, emergency theatre activity and the orientation of less experienced colleagues or students.
Applicants should hold current NMC or HCPC registration as appropriate, with relevant experience in a theatre or gynaecology setting. You will need sound knowledge of surgical procedures, aseptic technique, surgical instrumentation and theatre protocols, together with the ability to remain calm and focused in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication, organisation and prioritisation skills are essential, as is a commitment to delivering compassionate, inclusive and patient-centred care. A flexible approach to shifts, including weekends, evenings or on-call working where required, is expected.
