The Theatres will deliver activity from General Surgery, Urology, Gynaecology, Ophthamology and ENT services. The Elective Care Centre will welcome these specialities over 6 days of operating.

The successful candidate will be delivering all aspects of peri-operative care for elective cases so experience or a strong transferable skills set will be required.

The East Midlands Planned Care Centre will see a high volume of patient's per day. It will be a fast paced environment and will require a highly motivated, adaptable candidate who will lead be example and teach new members of the team.

The successful applicant will need to demonstrate that they have a high level of organisational skills including time management, the ability to confidently prioritise and organise clinical and managerial responsibilities.

They will also be expected to participate in the effective clinical leadership and management of the team, including supporting and developing colleagues in the formation of a new theatre team; and be committed to delivering a high quality service to ensure patient care, safety and experience is the best it can be.
