Due to this expanding service we are looking for experienced perioperative staff with expert perioperative skills particularly in Orthopaedic theatres and within all perioperative specialties (Anaesthetics, Recovery, Scrub and Healthcare support workers) to support this development within theatres at GGH and IRH.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team responsible for assessment of care needs and the development of a programme of care, and the implementation and evaluation of these programmes to ensure delivery of high quality perioperative care. The ability to work on your own initiative but also as part of an integrated team is required. You should demonstrate flexibility by working within a service that runs over seven days a week including out of hours work.

The South Sector & Clyde Theatres undertake a perioperative dual training programme and multispeciality training supported by the GGC Centre of Clinical Perioperative Excellence.

You may be required to engage in multi-site working within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde South Sector to meet service needs.
