Wirral, United Kingdom Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you a dynamic leader who can effectively lead a team of Peri-operative Practitioners to deliver high class quality care within the Clatterbridge theatres?

The Directorate of Peri-operative Medicine is seeking to recruit an experienced Perioperative Practitioner to join the leadership team at Clatterbridge. You will be instrumental in delivering quality and activity for Chronic pain, Urology, General Surgery and Breast surgery.

The Clatterbridge theatres are GIRFT accredited and was nominated recently for a HSJ award for collaboration with The Countess of Chester Hospital as part of the Cheshire and Mersey collaborative.

In 2023 we built four new state of the art theatres, recovery, staff rest room and Surgical Admissions Unit. The new theatres are a pleasure to work in with large anaesthetic rooms, operating theatres and prep rooms. This supports the well being of staff as they are working in a new and spacious area, which they developed.

The four new theatres are an addition to the six theatres already on the site (five orthopaedic and five General Surgery/Urology/Breast).

With responsibility for the day to day management of workforce, clinical specialism and patient flow, you will lead change in the department supporting the perioperative improvement programme.

The potential post holder will report directly to the Perioperative Matron, linking with the ADN of Perioperative Medicine forging close partnerships with other senior leaders in both the directorate and Surgical division.

The post holder will provide strong leadership, and be a visible, credible senior presence, be accessible to staff patients and families where required.

This post is open to both NMC registered Nurses and HCPC registered Operating Department Practitioners.

We are looking for a highly motived, passionate health care professional who possesses excellent interpersonal communication skills, the ability to motivate and negotiate and is passionate about perioperative care.

Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is situated on The Wirral peninsula which has a stunning coastline and beautiful countryside surroundings, with great activities for its residents.

We are one of the largest and busiest acute Trusts in the North West of England, comprising of the Wirral’s only Emergency Department. We provide a high quality range of acute care services and employ over 6,000 staff, who serve a population of approximately 400,000 people across Wirral, Ellesmere Port, Neston, North Wales and the wider North West footprint.

We have approximately 855 beds trust-wide and our financial turnover is in excess of £337m.

The Wirral is easily accessible with excellent transport links including motorway, train, bus or ferry and within easy reach to the major cities of Liverpool, Chester and Manchester as well as neighbouring North Wales.

Working as part of the leadership team you will be responsible for:
Day to day operational leadership of operating theatres ensuring productivity and efficiencies whilst maintaining a safe and quality service.

Provide support, empowerment and guidance to theatre teams in providing care.

Provide Human resource management to theatre teams.

Identify areas for development within the current service provision.
