As a theatre practitioner, you will be a valued member of our multidisciplinary team, delivering safe, compassionate and high-quality perioperative care to patients undergoing elective surgery within our newly accredited Elective Orthopaedic Hub.
- Working alongside surgeons, anaesthetists and theatre colleagues, you will play a key role in ensuring every patient receives outstanding care throughout their perioperative journey while contributing to the continued development of our expanding elective service.
Delivering high standards of patient-centred care throughout the perioperative journey, ensuring patients feel safe, informed and supported at every stage of their surgical experience.
- Providing skilled anaesthetic assistance as an autonomous practitioner, anticipating the needs of the anaesthetist, preparing equipment and responding effectively to changes in the patient's condition.
- Working as a scrub practitioner, ideally within elective orthopaedic surgery, maintaining strict aseptic technique, preparing specialist instrumentation and supporting the surgical team to deliver safe, efficient and high-quality care.
- Actively maintaining and developing competence in both anaesthetic and scrub practice, embracing opportunities to broaden your clinical expertise in line with service development and supporting the continued growth and resilience of the accredited Elective Orthopaedic Hub.
We are an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff work in patients homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield).
We prioritise our people and values so we can deliver the best possible care to patients. Our team is friendly, passionate, and innovative, always seeking better ways to work.
We support work-life balance and foster a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and especially encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minority groups, and people with disabilities or neurodivergence to apply, as they are currently underrepresented in the Trust.
As a member of the team, you will have access to the NHS pension plan, a generous holiday allowance, employee health and wellbeing services and extensive benefits and support. These include onsite nurseries, childcare vouchers, home electronics schemes, working carers support, carer-friendly policies, and more.
If you value caring, high standards, improvement, and respect, join the MY team to make a difference every day.
