Recovery Nurse Practitioner
Salary: Competitive
Hours: 37.5
Contract: Permanent
Location: Wimbledon Quarter
Affidea UK is in a period of exceptional growth. We have gone from strength to strength, most recently announcing a strategic partnership with LIPS in London. This autumn, we will open our first ambulatory clinic in Southwest London, a major milestone in our mission to bring world-class, accessible healthcare to communities across the UK. Joining us now means being part of this journey from the ground up, with real opportunities to grow as we do.
Located in the Wimbledon Quarter Shopping Centre in Southwest London, our first UK clinic is a 33,000 sq ft ambulatory Clinic bringing together advanced diagnostics, outpatient services and theatres under one roof. Services include a Private GP, an Express Care minor injuries unit, consultant and treatment rooms, multimodality advanced diagnostic imaging (3T MRI, 1.5T MRI, CT, X-Ray and DEXA), surgical theatres and inpatient ward facilities.
About The Role
We are looking to recruit a Recovery Nurse Practitioner to join our Theatres team, with a competitive salary range on offer depending on experience. You'll provide exemplary post-anaesthetic care to patients as they come through recovery from our theatres and endoscopy suite, assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating individualised care as patients regain consciousness and stabilise following their procedure.
By joining the Theatres team, you'll be part of a dynamic environment that embraces the highest standards of perioperative care and prioritises compassionate, patient-centred practice.
