UNLOCK YOUR BEST WORK LIFE
+MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR EVERY PATIENT
Are you an experienced ODP or Anaesthetic Nurse looking for flexible working opportunities within a supportive and dynamic theatre environment? We are looking for a Bank Anaesthetic Practitioner to join our team.
This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside experienced surgeons, anaesthetists and theatre teams, delivering high-quality perioperative care while enjoying the flexibility of bank work.

You'll also have the opportunity to rotate into Recovery when required, contributing to the smooth running of the department.
This role is offered on a bank (0-hour) contract. There are no guaranteed hours, and shifts will be offered depending on business needs. You can accept or decline shifts based on your availability, making this a flexible option—but it may not be suitable if you are seeking consistent or full-time hours.
