Theatre nursing and operating department practitioner jobs at St George’s

With over 130,000 operations each year at St George’s Hospital, our surgery teams perform a wide range of surgical procedures for patients from across the south of England in state-of-the-art operating theatres.

We have vacancies for band 5, 6 and 7 theatre nurses and operating department practitioners (ODPs). If you are a registered nurse with a passion for providing high quality care, it doesn’t matter whether you are newly qualified, working in another specialty or are an experienced operating department practitioner – we want you to join our team and take on one of the most exciting and fulfilling jobs in nursing.

You could be caring for patients before, during and after some of the most demanding and complex operations, including bariatric surgery, robotic procedures, major trauma, vascular, renal transplants, ENT/maxilla-facial surgery, paediatrics, general and gynaecology.

We also staff 24/7 major trauma, neurology, emergency (CEPOD) and obstetric theatres, so if you are the type of person who thrives on dealing with the unexpected and love the thrill of not knowing what type of cases you will be working on when you get to work, we have just the job for you.

Our 30 theatres are spread across six operating suites within the hospital and a five theatre stand-alone day case unit. Our seven cardiac and neurosurgery theatres are located in the state-of-the-art Atkinson Morley Wing, where over 4,000 of the most complex neurosurgical and cardiothoracic procedures are undertaken each year with excellent clinical results. We also opened a new hi-tech Hybrid Operating Theatre, where the most up to date imaging enables less invasive surgery which is safer for patients.

You could be part of a top team of theatre practitioners, surgeons and anaesthetists providing specialist care for our patients on every step of their journey with us.

From pre-operative assessment and preparation, surgery to post-operative recovery, the care you will provide will help our patients’ to make as full a recovery as possible.

You will not only be helping to maintain and further improve our excellent clinical outcomes, but just as importantly you will be making sure that our patients’ experience is as good as it can be.

If you’re up to the challenge of taking on one of the most rewarding jobs in healthcare, we want to hear from you.
