Evolve Staffing Ltd. is actively seeking highly experienced, adaptable, and dedicated Band 5 Registered Theatre Nurses (RGN) with specialist clinical experience in Anaesthetics to join operating department teams across a flagship major NHS acute hospital trust based in Cheshire.
Operating within one of Cheshire's primary major NHS acute hospital facilities—a comprehensive tertiary surgical environment featuring multi-specialty operating theatre suites compared to single-department maternity or ward settings—this role provides exceptional flexibility and top-tier pay rates for experienced perioperative nurses who excel in high-acuity surgical environments. As a Theatre Nurse specializing in Anaesthetics representing Evolve Staffing Ltd., you will work as an integral clinical professional alongside consultant anaesthetists, operating department practitioners (ODPs), surgical teams, and theatre managers to deliver safe, evidence-based, and compassionate pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative care across a diverse range of elective, emergency, and trauma surgical lists.
Whether you are deeply skilled in preparing modern anaesthetic workstations, managing complex airway emergencies, assisting with regional nerve blocks, or supporting general inpatient ward transitions, this vacancy offers an ideal pathway to flexible agency shifts within one of the North West's flagship healthcare facilities.
Key Responsibilities & Clinical Duties
As a Band 5 Theatre Nurse with Anaesthetic experience, your primary responsibility is to ensure maximum patient safety, precise airway control, and seamless clinical support to the anaesthetist before, during, and immediately following surgical procedures.
