Job Opportunity: Staff Nurse - Cataract Theatre Suite
Please note: We cannot accept applications from any country on the RED LIST as set out in the Code of Practice red and amber list of countries | NHS Employers.
Due to expansion, we have an exciting opportunity for a full-time, motivated Staff Nurse to join our new state-of-the-art Cataract Theatre Suite at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
This fixed-term post is for 37.5 hours per week, working four variable days from Monday to Friday. Some weekend work may be required based on service needs. Suitable newly qualified staff will be considered.
You will primarily assist ophthalmic clinicians in performing cataract surgeries under local anaesthetic within the Theatre Suite. The role includes cross-site work at The Princess Royal Hospital, Telford, in the Ophthalmology Department. Responsibilities include scrubbing, escorting, patient admission and discharge, testing visual acuity, and other diagnostic tests as needed.
In addition to theatre work, there is an opportunity to rotate into Ophthalmology Outpatients at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, covering various ophthalmic sub-specialties, making this a diverse and exciting role for the right candidate.
Experience in a theatre setting is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided for committed applicants eager to deliver high standards of patient care.
Support and training will be ongoing to help you succeed in this role.
We are committed to treating all patients, visitors, and staff with courtesy, respect, dignity, and confidentiality. Our goal is to deliver high-quality care, ensuring patients are well-informed and their needs are met.
