• Help control cross-infection by strictly adhering to departmental policies regarding hygiene, asepsis, and decontamination.

• Relevant ODP or Anaesthetic Nurse qualification (current HCPC registration or active Adult RGN registration).

• Post-registration experience within Anaesthetics, with a minimum of 2 years recent UK experience in anaesthetics.

• A dedicated professional with a proven ability to deliver high standards of patient-centred care and work collaboratively within a dynamic team.
