2 weeks ago


Leicester, United Kingdom University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Full time

Ever thought about working in an Operating Theatre?

We are looking to recruit theatre support assistants to become part of the team at the Glenfield Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary and Leicester General theatres. These are busy operating theatres covering multiple specialities such as cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, orthopedics, hepatobiliary, general surgery and emergency surgery as just a few examples.

For applicants that wish to develop themselves, we conduct education and training courses supported by local education institutions; with no financial costs to applicants meeting the desired criteria. These courses enable you to develop your knowledge and skills, to perform more complicated tasks within theatres and allow you to progress in your career should you wish to.

Applications for both full time and part time positions will be considered. The role requires the post holder to work within a shift pattern. Please see job description for details

You will be expected to attend the Trust’s Theatre Support Assistant Program. The next program is 06/3/23 and successful applicants need to be available to start on this date

The post holder will support the registered Theatre Practitioners within the peri-operative environment, either performing duties within theatre recovery or in the operating theatre and assisting the theatre/surgical team with patient care.

Your role is to support the theatre team and you will be directly involved in patient care. This includes performing paperwork checks, escorting patients that are admitted to us, and communicating important information to the team in the anaesthetic room/theatre.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals. We have our very own Children’s Hospital and run one of the country’s leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide ‘Caring at its best’ and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we’re here to do. They are:

- We focus on what matters most
- We treat others how we would like to be treated
- We are passionate and creative in our work
- We do what we say we are going to do
- We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that ‘Caring at its best’ is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
