Are you an ODP or Anaesthetic Nurse with a passion for delivering high quality care, but also love the sea, countryside and fresh air? This might be the job for you! We are looking for ODP's or Anaesthetic Nurses to join us in Scarborough and Bridlington. We run eight theatres over two sites, covering many specialities including; general surgery, urology, gynaecology, ENT, Max Fax, ophthalmology, obstetrics, elective orthopaedics and trauma. We have established day surgery wards on both sites and an excellent elective orthopaedic ward, ensuring our same day discharge rates for joint replacements are some of the best in the country. Our Bridlington surgical hub provides an excellent elective orthopaedic pathway, and the same day discharge rates for joint replacement are one of the best in the country. At Scarborough we cover a 24 hour emergency theatre and are part of the cardiac arrest, trauma teams and paediatric emergency teams meaning no two days are the same.
