Job Opportunity for ODPs & Registered Nurses
An opportunity has arisen for ODPs & Registered Nurses to join a highly motivated multi-disciplinary theatre team. Our departments are focused on delivering patient-centred care, with emphasis on quality, patient safety, and staff engagement.
About the Role
Theatres are building a dynamic multi-skilled workforce, and this position would look favourably at flexibility into recovery and/or scrub areas and an internal rotation across our sites.
This vacancy is open to all internal and external candidates. NHS Employees should ideally secure their manager’s agreement for a secondment arrangement ideally prior to applying, as this will be a condition of any offer made.
This vacancy is advertised on a fixed term basis as it has been established to provide cover for maternity leave and will end after a period of 12 months or when the substantive postholder returns.
Whilst this post is advertised on a fixed term basis, there is the potential that this post may become permanent in the future.
