We’re looking for a Theatre Practitioner – Scrub to join our Theatre team at The Princess Grace Hospital. This role is centred around spinal surgery, and we’re specifically looking for someone with strong, hands on spinal scrub experience who can confidently support complex procedures. Your expertise in spinal theatre practice will be central to the role, and you’ll be a key part of delivering safe, consistent care across these specialist cases.
The Princess Grace Hospital is one of London’s leading multidisciplinary private hospitals, with seven theatres across two floors, two recovery suites and a dedicated robotic surgery theatre. With a broad and complex caseload, spinal surgery forms an important and growing part of the service. You’ll be part of a team where your spinal experience is recognised and relied upon, while also having the opportunity to work across other specialties where needed.
Within this role, you’ll spend a significant proportion of your time supporting spinal lists. Your ability to prepare specialist instrumentation, anticipate the needs of surgeons and maintain a calm, organised theatre environment during complex procedures will be essential. Alongside your spinal focus, you’ll contribute to the wider theatre team, supporting across robotic, reconstructive, general, gynaecology, urology and orthopaedic cases as required.
At HCA UK we care about what you care about. We care that you want to deliver the very best care. We care that you want a career you can be proud of. We care that you want working conditions that support your health and wellbeing. Let us care for you and your career, the same way you do for others.
What you’ll do:
- Act as the lead scrub practitioner for spinal procedures, supporting both routine and complex cases
- Prepare and manage specialist spinal instrumentation, equipment and sterile fields
- Anticipate the needs of surgeons during spinal surgery and provide skilled, responsive support
- Work collaboratively with the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver safe, high quality patient care
- Maintain high standards of infection control, safety and clinical practice within theatres
What you’ll bring:
- Proven and recent scrub experience in spinal surgery is essential
- A minimum of two years’ experience working as a scrub practitioner in theatres
- Registered Nurse or Operating Department Practitioner qualification with a valid NMC or HCPC registration
