Anaesthetic Practitioner Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Anaesthetic Practitioner to join our Theatre Department at Kettering General Hospital. Working across a wide range of specialties including Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Urology, Breast, ENT and Maxillofacial Surgery, you will play a key role in delivering safe, effective and high-quality perioperative care.
You will work as part of a multidisciplinary theatre team, providing expert anaesthetic support and contributing to the smooth running of both elective and emergency services, including participation in the out-of-hours on-call rota. Applicants must be either an HCPC-registered Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) or an NMC-registered Nurse with a recognised post-registration anaesthetic qualification.
We are looking for a dedicated professional with a passion for patient care, strong perioperative knowledge and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. In return, we offer a supportive team, opportunities for professional development and the chance to make a real difference to the patient experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
