An exciting opportunity has arisen for dynamic, motivated Staff Nurse/ODP to join our team as a Band 5 Theatre Practitioner.
We are looking to attract applicants to work in the National Treatment Centre Fife Orthopaedics based within the grounds of the Victoria Hospital consisting of 3 Theatres and a 7 bedded recovery area along with an Orthopaedic ward and associated outpatient services. This will create an exciting opportunity for staff development.
We are looking to recruit experienced/ inexperienced theatre practitioner either RGN or ODP to join our team. It would be desirable to have experience in scrub and circulating roles, although this is not a necessity. There is a robust induction programme which is supported by a dedicated Education team. We are passionate about investing and developing all our team members. We currently fund and support the Advanced Scrub practitioner programme.
You should possess excellent communication skills, have the ability to work well in the multidisciplinary team, and have evidence of continuing professional development. Theatres can be an intense fast paced environment with a team working ethos being at the heart of the service we provide. If you would like to join our busy friendly unit this may be the post for you.
Hours will be worked to meet the needs of the service which will include weekend work as required, with flexibility to work over all sites in Fife.
A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme Prior to appointment.
