Senior Theatre Practitioner – Job Description
Overview
We are seeking a competent Senior Theatre Practitioner capable of working across multiple specialties, including deputising in the absence of a team leader.
The role requires maintaining a positive learning environment, while taking every opportunity to develop competencies and encourage self-improvement. Recruitment, training, and the development of theatre staff are critical to delivering safe, efficient, and timely patient care.
The Post Holder must act as an expert resource for clinical staff and students, providing strong supervision, training, and support. Holding a relevant Practice Assessor/Educator qualification is desirable.
Key priorities are patient safety, service excellence, evidence-based practice, and high-quality teamwork. The successful candidate will actively contribute to leadership, practice standards, and departmental development—collaborating closely with the Theatre Management Team to drive positive change.
