Ophthalmology Scrub Practitioner
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Clitheroe
Contract type: Full time
An exciting opportunity has arisen for highly motivated, and forward thinking staff members to join an innovative and pro-active team. We are currently recruiting qualified operating department practitioners and nurses to work in our busy Ophthalmology Theatre Department.
Using evidence based practice, you will provide safe, individual care to patients, to excellent standards. You will be a registered nurse with current NMC registration, a qualified Operating Department Practitioner with HCPC registration, a Student Nurse or Student ODP.
The post-holder will be expected to be flexible to respond to change and organisational needs. There is a requirement to work flexible hours over the course of the week, including weekend on call rota.
The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we aren’t in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.
Successful candidates will be developed (as required) to work in both the scrub and recovery practitioner roles within the ophthalmology theatres.
This role is suitable for all levels of experience, newly qualified, looking for the next challenge in your career pathway or experienced with transferable skills we welcome all and look forward to meeting you and discussing the opportunities to join us and care for our patients within the department. In return for your commitment, enthusiasm and dedication we will provide you with the technical skills and development opportunities.
As an organisation we are committed to placing the patient at the heart of everything we do and in the provision of safe, effective patient care that acknowledges and ensures dignity. With this in mind we are seeking to recruit staff who share the organisation's values and beliefs.
You will be highly motivated with a can do attitude and will join an innovative and pro-active team to provide safe, clean and personal care using evidence based practice. You will be a registered nurse or Operating Department Practitioner with current NMC or HCPC registration.
The post-holder will be expected to be flexible to respond to change and organisational needs. There is a requirement to work flexible hours over the course of the week, and weekend on call rota.
