An opportunity is available for an experienced Gynae Scrub Nurse or Operating Department Practitioner to join a busy perioperative team. You will provide safe, effective and compassionate care to patients undergoing a range of gynaecological procedures, working closely with surgeons, anaesthetists, recovery staff and the wider theatre team.
Your responsibilities will include preparing operating theatres, checking equipment and instrumentation, ensuring all required consumables are available, and maintaining a safe and efficient environment before, during and after procedures. You will undertake accurate surgical counts, support the delivery of aseptic technique, anticipate the needs of the surgical team and respond promptly to changes during an operation.
You will contribute to patient safety by following local policies, infection prevention procedures and relevant professional standards. Duties will also include completing documentation, supporting specimen handling, assisting with the safe transfer and positioning of patients, and helping to maintain high standards of cleanliness and stock control. You may also be required to support other theatre specialties when service needs demand.
Applicants should hold current professional registration as a Registered Nurse or Operating Department Practitioner, with relevant experience in gynaecology and scrub practice. You will have a sound understanding of perioperative procedures, surgical instruments, aseptic technique and clinical risk management. Experience of working within a multidisciplinary theatre environment is essential, together with the ability to remain calm, focused and organised in a fast-paced setting.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills are required, along with a commitment to dignity, confidentiality and patient-centred care. You should be able to work flexibly across shifts, demonstrate attention to detail and contribute positively to service improvement and staff development. In return, you will have the opportunity to work within a supportive clinical team and develop your experience across a varied range of gynaecological surgery.
