This is a full-time post working Monday - Friday in a self-contained Day Surgery Unit at Withington Community Hospital.
Previous applicants please do not reapply
We are looking to recruit an experienced, full-time skilled Theatre Practitioner for the Treatment Centre at Withington Community Hospital with experience of working in Theatre or a Day Surgery setting and evidence of a specialist theatre qualification.
We are a small, friendly team who work well together to deliver excellent patient care. We undertake a variety of surgical procedures under local anaesthetic. All staff rotate within the unit and work in all areas - admission and discharge lounges, theatre, and recovery.
As a result of coronavirus (COVID-19), the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery is now undertaking all surgery for hand trauma at Withington Community Hospital. All surgery will be performed using a local anaesthetic technique (wide awake) approach.
The Treatment Centre is a clinical placement area for student nurses, so we are keen to recruit staff with a teaching and assessing qualification who will undertake the role of practice assessor/supervisor.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You must be flexible and able to work between the hours 07:30-19:00. The unit is currently open Monday - Friday and we open adhoc when required on a Saturday and Sunday.
