Relevant postgraduate perioperative qualifications are advantageous. The successful candidate will be adaptable across theatre areas, clinically competent, calm under pressure and able to work effectively with surgeons, anaesthetists and multidisciplinary teams. Flexibility for varied shifts, strong communication skills, professional conduct and a commitment to high-quality patient-centred care are expected. Current immunisation records, police checks and other facility-specific compliance documents may also be required.
