A unique opportunity has arisen, due to service expansion and development in the Westmorland General Hospital (Kendal) Operating Department, to join the existing theatre team.

Work in support and under direction of a Registered Nurse (RN)/Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) providing perioperative care and assistance to patients within defined parameters specified by the RN/OPD.

The six theatres undertake a variety of surgical specialties including trauma and orthopaedic joint surgery, general surgery, breast, urology, maxillofacial, dental, gynaecology and ophthalmology. The Theatres in Kendal have undergone a large transformation and are now recognised as an 'Accredited Elective Hub'.

We are looking for clinical support workers with an interest in working within the theatre environment, ensuring that all aspects of the patients individual care needs are met in a safe, effective and efficient environment.

The department is committed to appraisal, to support continuous education and professional development.

We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community health care premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
