Spire Wellesley has an exciting opportunity for a Recovery Theatre Practitioner to join our experienced and dynamic team. Working with a wide variety of specialisms, you will be able to develop your clinical skills in a modern and supportive environment, working 37.5 hours per week.

Spire Wellesley offers comprehensive private hospital services in a comfortable and relaxed environment to patients from across Essex. We believe it's our people that really set us apart, from the very best medical professionals to our attentive and highly experienced support staff. The Wellesley has 3 theatres (2 laminar flow) and an endoscopy unit, a 33 bedded Surgical Ward covering a wide variety of specialties including Orthopaedics, Bariatrics, General Surgery, Vascular, Plastics, Gynae, Ophthalmology, Spinal, Urology and ENT. We have had a recent theatre refurbishment to further upgrade our theatre environment and bring cutting edge technology to our hospital.

Duties and responsibilities:

We are looking for a Registered Nurse or ODP who has recovery experience.

We prefer our theatre staff to be as multi-skilled as possible, so ideally you will be able to work across scrub, anaesthetics and/or recovery, but many of our staff specialise in just one or two areas. Most importantly, our theatre staff are experienced in a variety of surgical procedures or are willing to learn new procedures and techniques under expert supervision. These will include general, ophthalmology, bariatric, urology, gynaecology to name a few. This is a full-time role covering 37.5 hours a week, working on a rota.
