Our theatres are entering an exciting phase of transformation, with new services and facilities planned across both sites--The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and The Princess Royal Hospital. If successful, you will be based at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, however there may be a requirement to occasionally work cross-site, depending on clinical need. 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. You'll play an essential role in the smooth running of our theatres and help us maintain our exceptional levels of care.
Theatre HCA's assist the wider theatre team with the safe passage of patients through the surgical pathway. The department currently provides a 24-hour, seven-day emergency surgical service cross-site. Therefore, flexibility and a commitment to an on-call shift system is essential.
