We are seeking to expand our Paediatric Recovery team and are recruiting a dynamic, innovative, highly motivated and enthusiastic registered senior practitioner that is looking to expand their existing skills and knowledge not only in paediatrics but also within a diverse and challenging range of specialties.
RMCH Theatres have 10 theatres and 1 recovery unit and cover a wide range of surgical specialties such as Burns and Plastics, Neurosurgery, Major Spinal Surgery and Trauma & Orthopedics. As a dedicated paediatric major trauma Centre and regional neonatal surgical centre we provide a 24/7 emergency service and staff are required to participate in this cover.
We work closely with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust to bring the UK's first high energy proton beam therapy service to Manchester, this is one of only two high energy NHS proton beam therapy centres and RMCH theatres provide the anaesthetic and recovery service, therefore staff will rotate to cover this service.
We work together with a range of professionals including nurses, ODPs and allied health professionals as well as anaesthetists and other medical staff to provide service users and their families / carers with timely procedures which are safe, achieve good clinical outcomes and provide a good patient experience.
