Theatre Practitioner

We have the exciting opportunity for promotion to a Band 6 role which has arisen. We would invite all enthusiastic, committed, hardworking, and highly motivated, Registered Nurse’s or Operating Department Practitioner’s to join our family of dedicated Theatre Practitioners.

This Band 6 role is aimed at experienced Theatre practioners,who are already competent in their specialised theatre role (scrub / A &R )

Your base for the role will predominantly be at The Royal Blackburn Hospital. However cross site working will be an expectation, as the service need occurs.

We have 11 theatres at the Royal Blackburn site and 17 at Burnley General and together we carry out a wide range of both elective and emergency surgery through many specialities including: Gynaecology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, general surgery, vascular, colorectal, HPB, Urology, orthopaedics, trauma, ENT, maxillofacial including Robotic assisted Surgery, and a 24 hour emergency service on both sites.

We encourage innovation.

ELHT already has the largest and most comprehensive programme of robot assisted surgery in the northwest, with the region’s leading surgeons removing head and neck, urological and colorectal cancers at the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital.

The Trust has 3 Robot systems - 2 at RBH and 1 at BGH

The extra capacity will also allow ELHT to perform more robot assisted surgery which will eventually include Hepato-biliary cancers.

Our aim is to be widely recognised for providing safe, personal and effective care, by putting safety and quality at the heart of all we do.
