We are seeking a motivated and forward-thinking Pre-Operative Assessment Practitioner to join our friendly and dedicated team at Newark Hospital. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a progressive, nurse-led service that is at the forefront of preparing patients for surgery and delivering high-quality, patient-centred care.
As part of our dynamic team, you will assess patients across a wide range of specialties, including orthopaedics, podiatry, gynaecology, breast surgery, urology, ENT, and general surgery.

This is an excellent time to join the team and play an active role in shaping the future of pre-operative care.
