Senior Charge Nurse / Senior Operating Department Practitioner

Due to retirement, we have an exciting opportunity for a motivated theatre practitioner to join our peri-operative team within the Golden Jubilee Hospital as SCN/SCODP with Cardiac theatres.

About the Role 

As the Cardiac SCN/SCODP, you will be responsible for the daily management of 4 Cardiac theatres whilst ensuring patients receive a high standard of safe, effective and person centred care. This involves not only leading the team within theatres but developing close links with areas such as Critical Care, to enable a smooth patient flow resulting in excellent patient outcomes. You will be pivotal in the provision of the complex Cardiac surgery service, incorporating NORS. The post holder will also have a focus on utilisation, ensuring efficient use of theatres to support patients through their peri-operative journey.

You should be able to demonstrate a strong track record of leadership and managing a team, particularly through change. A commitment to quality, evidence-based care is essential, whilst having a can-do attitude.

As a National Waiting Times Centre, NHS Golden Jubilee is integral in supporting NHS Scotland to deliver a wide range of surgeries and elective programmes, addressing waiting times throughout Scotland.

Development

We have a dedicated Clinical Education Team, who work closely with the Leadership Academy, to provide further training and personal and professional development opportunities.  

Each day is a busy one, but the fast paced environment and knowing you have made a real difference to a patients life makes this a very rewarding experience.  

Why NHS Golden Jubilee? 

Our philosophy of caring is embedded into our central framework, and will guide everything you do as part at NHS Golden Jubilee. As part of the team, you will be offered extensive personal and professional development available, allowing you to take control of your future, seek out opportunities for improvement and advance your career.
