Job overview

We are looking to recruit highly motivated and enthusiastic Band 6 Senior Staff Nurse with experience as scrub Nurse or Recovery Nurse or Anaesthetic practitioner  for Theatres at King George Hospital to join our dynamic Theatre team. We are proud to offer pioneering cutting edge technology having recently introduced the Da vinci robotic General, colorectal, upper GI, Urology, Gyanecology surgeries and stryker Orthopaedic robot for joint replacement surgeries.
 
We are one of the 8 Trust in the entire NHS to be known as established Surgical Elective Hub. We offer the best training and development programme for our staff.

Main duties of the job

To provide integrated clinical leadership to a team of nurses within the department in order to care for patients in the Operating Theatre environment, to the highest possible standard and to develop practice with support from the Team Leader.

To assume responsibility for the operational management of staff and resources in the absence of the Team Leader, taking a lead in a specific aspect of operational management in the Theatre setting.

To act as a role model and create an environment that promotes excellence in Theatre nursing practice and empowers staff to develop high levels of clinical skills and autonomy.

To contribute to the effective day to day operations of the Operating Theatres by providing skilled assistance to all staff during the administration, maintenance and termination of general, regional or local anaesthetics and surgical interventions, by undertaking Scrub/Circulating or Recovery  duties.

Working for our organisation

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
