Band 5 Theatre Practitioners

This advert if for a Trust Recruitment Event taking place on the 7th November 2026.

An exciting opportunity has arisen in our theatres to recruit Band 5 Theatre Practitioners to join our fantastic theatre teams at our QMC and City campuses. We are looking for highly motivated, innovative, and progressive individuals committed to the development of yourself, your team, and our changing services.

You will be joining a pro-active, dynamic team of nurses and ODPs who offer the best standards of perioperative care. Every day is challenging but rewarding with opportunities to demonstrate critical thinking, initiative, and teamwork. We pride ourselves on quality team work, learning, and being forward thinking.

There is an expectation that you will be prepared to support colleagues in other specialities to provide safe patient care and prevent patient cancellations.

Please note, that due to ongoing service developments the post holder may be required cross site at our other hospital site (QMC) with the agreement of the Speciality Team Leader.

Expectations to deliver a high standard of service with patient safety and quality are a priority. You should be able to demonstrate effective team working and work to the highest standards of evidence based practice.

We practice multi-skilling and are looking to recruit dynamic practitioners who wish to develop their practice in anaesthetic and surgical scrub support. Theatre experience is preferable but not essential.

A flexible attitude to work and the ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team is essential.

We are one of the biggest employers in the city with over 19,000 staff, with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education, and innovation.

Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve. With endless personal development opportunities available, at NUH we will endeavour to turn your job into a career.

To deliver high quality holistic care to patients.

To facilitate efficient and effective care and communication between the team.

To actively contribute to developing the professional practice of the Surgery and Associated Specialties care group, particularly within Theatres and Anaesthesia.
