Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - Recruitment Event

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is hosting a recruitment event for theatre nurses and operating department practitioners on Saturday 25th January.

The event will take place in the Treatment Centre, at Leighton Hospital from 10am-4pm, with interviews also taking place on the day. Attendees should use the Treatment Centre entrance, from where they'll be directed to the event.

The Trust has vacancies for Band 5 theatre nurses and operating department practitioners in its main and maternity theatre teams at Leighton Hospital and in the theatre team at the new Cheshire & Merseyside Surgical Centre at the Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, which is currently in the final stages of development.

The new centre, which is due to open in the spring, will provide state-of-the-art clinical areas to support patient care, securing local services for the community for the future.

These include two theatres covering ophthalmology, orthopaedics, pain, ear nose and throat (ENT), dermatology, and general surgery. There will also be a treatment room, recovery area and consulting rooms.

This will help to reduce waiting times for patients, with an immediate focus on those who have been waiting 52 weeks for treatment. The Trust also aims to reduce the overall backlog.

To help to deliver this ambition, the Trust is looking to recruit around 80 people to fill both full and part time positions. For the theatres, the Trust will be recruiting nurses and operating department practitioners, as well as support roles including healthcare assistants, pharmacy assistants, security officers, porters, medical engineers, Estates and IT support, domestic and administration staff.
