Senior Theatre Support Worker

An exciting opportunity has arisen in our Ophthalmology theatres. We are looking to recruit 3 Band 3 Senior Theatre Support Workers to join our friendly team, based on the Royal Liverpool Hospital site.

The successful candidate will assist the theatre team in the planning, assessment, implementation and evaluation of patient care. You will assist in the smooth running of theatre lists, sending for patients as required and escorting patients to theatre and post op to the Theatre Admissions Unit with appropriate handovers, monitoring patients condition and seeking advice where there is cause for concern.

In 2025 we are welcoming the introduction of a dedicated Cataract Treatment Centre in which the role of the Senior Theatre Support worker will be essential. This is a very exciting project for Ophthalmology.

A reputation for providing a high standard of care is essential for this post.

To assist in the delivery of high-quality care
To assist in the delivery of safe standards of practice
To assist in the theatre team in meeting service and performance targets, and the effective use of theatre resources

Internal rotation is in practice through theatres, anaesthetic, scrub and recovery to allow personal development and the smooth delivery of service. You may therefore agree on formal appraisal to move to another area of experience.

It is recognised that on agreement at formal appraisal on annual basis there may be a decision to concentrate on certain aspects of this job description.
