Are you a qualified Nursing Associate looking for a change in your career direction? This is the perfect opportunity for you to apply for a post in Theatres.
We would welcome you to come for an informal visit to the department to meet our team if you are interested in applying for the posts.
Previous experience in surgery is beneficial but not essential as training will be provided and you maintain a supernumerary status for a 6 month period.
We welcome applicants who are within their last year of training with both full and part time positions are available.
Opportunities are available for continual development including Apprentice ODP reflecting our 'grow your own' ethos.
The successful candidates will have a unique opportunity to join the Theatre Department at The Princess Royal Hospital at a time when we are redeveloping a workforce to help the recovery and restoration programme to provide safe, quality services that are accessible and sustainable for future generations.
The introduction of Robotic surgery to The Princess Royal Hospital site also demonstrates that we are leading the way with innovation and development of our teams.
Working as part of a team you will provide exceptional care for each patient, only ever caring for one patient at a time, enabling you to ensure you are always doing your very best for every patient every time.
We can offer you dedicated help whilst you settle into your new role.
You will remain supernumerary until the Theatre competencies are completed (6 to 12 months depending on role), and we also have a committed internal professional development team who oversee all training we provide. We would look to support you to attend our in-house Theatre Academy training programme, which offers three weeks of training run by our Theatre Professional Development team.
There is also specific Theatres training and courses available to help you develop your skills and progress your career with SaTH.
There is also opportunity for Nursing Associates to access the ODP Apprentice degree level training.
