Theatre Practitioner with Anaesthetics AA
We are currently looking for hardworking, enthusiastic, and friendly people with a Diploma in ODP NVQ Level 3 or City and Guilds 752, or a 1st Level Nurse with a current anaesthetic competency certificate to join our fast‑paced Acute Theatre Suite. All applicants must be a member of the UK HCPC or UK NMC register.
Hours will be worked to meet the needs of the service and will include shift, weekend, and rotational nights as required.
Our vision is to have a multi‑skilled workforce with rotation through Anaesthetics/Recovery and Scrub duties as qualifications/experience allows.
We offer a wide range of surgical specialties, including Maxillo‑Facial, ENT, General Surgery, Orthopaedic Trauma, Gynaecology, Obstetrics, Urology and Paediatrics, covering elective and emergency procedures.
We have specialities that use robotic‑assisted surgical technology – a relatively new innovation within NHS Fife that is expected to evolve over time. We also provide a comprehensive anaesthetic assistant service covering operating theatres, emergency department resuscitation area, ECT unit, community dental unit, and interventional radiology as required.
The Fife Elective Orthopaedic Centre is a National Treatment Centre of Excellence opened in spring 2023 and hosts three theatres.
You should possess excellent communication skills, the ability to work cohesively within a multidisciplinary team, and evidence of continuing professional development. Our department is supported by one full‑time and two part‑time clinical educators, and a part‑time education coordinator.
Theatres can be an intense, fast‑paced environment where a team‑working ethos is at the heart of the service we provide.
If you enjoy a challenge and would like to join this busy, friendly unit, then this may be the post for you.
