Operating Department Practitioner

We are looking for an enthusiastic, forward-thinking Operating Department Practitioner to join our Ophthalmology Theatres team at the National Treatment Centre – Highland (NTC-H).

Previous ophthalmology scrub experience is desirable; however, full training can be provided for the right candidate.

Based on the Inverness University Campus, the NTC-H is a purpose-built facility featuring five state-of-the-art theatres, a 24-bedded ward, and a dedicated Ophthalmology Outpatients Department. We deliver high-quality care to both Ophthalmology and Orthopaedic patients.

Our Ophthalmology Theatre Department includes three theatres supporting high-flow cataract surgery, alongside subspecialty lists such as glaucoma, oculoplastics, corneal, and vitreoretinal procedures.

In this role, you will work across both scrub and anaesthetic practice, with an approximate 80/20 split. This is a fast-paced environment with a high patient turnover, and we are seeking an ODP who will be a positive and skilled addition to our established team.

Informal enquiries and visits are encouraged.
