An exciting opportunity has arisen here at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. We are looking for Operating Department Practitioners & Registered Nurses to work within some of our clinical teams.
Leeds Teaching Hospital is always striving to provide the highest quality of care to our patients, and we believe that is through having the best staff. Theatres and Anaesthetics want to be the Best Place to Work and so offer many different opportunities.
Whether you are newly qualified or a practitioner with previous experience, we are looking for you to join our team and support us in delivering care to the local and regional population. Applications are welcome from students who are due to qualify in 2025.
The trust is currently unable to provide OSCE training, due to there being no current International Nurse Programme to support this; therefore, applicants are required to have current UK NMC registration with evidence of registrant clinical practice in the UK or be a final year Nursing student.
Internal Nursing staff currently employed by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, who wish to work in a different area, at the same AfC Band, job description and person specification should contact their Matron to express an interest through the internal nursing transfer process.
Main duties of the job
Each Team offers a variety of opportunities. We are working towards a flexible workforce which allows practitioners to work in a minimum of two roles, if not three, across the different phases of the perioperative pathway. We are also looking to increase opportunities for working across specialties to offer practitioners variety and opportunities to increase their skill set.
Leeds offers a wide variety of development opportunities and has Nurses and AHPs in many different roles.
