Overview

Theatre posts are suitable for both newly qualified and experienced practitioners. You would work as part of a highly skilled team and gain a wealth of experience. Candidates interested in developing a career in theatres will have the opportunity to build relevant skills, supported by a dedicated education team and a comprehensive education strategy that underpins staff development and progression.

A Disability Confident employer generally offers an interview to any applicant who declares they have a disability and meets the minimum job criteria. In high‑volume, seasonal or high‑peak recruitment situations, the employer may limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled and non‑disabled applicants.

Obtaining a role in theatres at Oxford University Hospitals will enable you to continue your career or enhance and acquire new skills in a new environment. You will work within a supportive learning environment that includes preceptorship, supernumerary status while achieving competencies, and further support during your initial phase working solo.

We offer an in‑house perioperative course, support for revalidation, leadership and career development. Experienced staff are encouraged and supported to further develop using educational and experiential learning opportunities available along your chosen career path.

We have implemented shared governance, providing an ideal opportunity for professional development and the chance to influence and deliver change in the departments. Further CPD is available, including the PG Cert/Dip Advanced Perioperative Care – accredited by the University of Northampton and delivered within the Trust.
