About the role and our team

Are you an Operating Department Practitioner looking to take the next step in your career within a supportive and professionally rewarding environment?

Come and join us on the Isle of Man! We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Theatre Practitioner (Scrub).

You will be responsible for the assessment of perioperative care needs and the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care for patients, to ensure individual care is delivered to a high standard in a safe environment.

Some of your duties will include:

  • Checking the equipment and environment are functioning appropriately and ready for use
  • Supervising and monitoring theatre practitioners and students
  • Communicating with patients, relatives, carers and other members of the team to ensure that appropriate information is shared and patient needs are met
  • Arranging the reception, transfer and discharge of patients

We can offer you a varied surgical case load that will enhance your knowledge and experiences, as well as provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate and develop your clinical skills and abilities within our close knit multidisciplinary team. 

In Manx Care, we have a vision to become the best small Island healthcare system and by joining our team at this exciting time, you can play a part in making this happen!

What can this role offer me?

By joining us you’ll be stepping away from NHS pressures and demands, as the Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS.

Along with enjoying a competitive salary and annual leave entitlement, you can be assured that your career aspirations and personal development goals will be supported. We have a wide range of learning and development opportunities, including use of our onsite education and training centre Keyll Darree and LEAD, our Learning, Education and Development Service.
