Alongside this, you will be directly responsible for educating and managing a team of band 6 staff as the service develops and expands in the future. 

What we’re looking for

• Knowledge and experience of the surgical pathway
• Knowledgeof potential anaesthetic risks that patients may face and the impact of health promotion
• Experience independently managing a caseload of patients
• The confidence to lead and develop a new service within a specialist environment

As this role is part of a newly created service, you’ll need to be flexible and able to think creatively to support its development and bring the most to the role. This will include offering ideas and changing processes as appropriate in order to get the most out of the role. You’ll need to work closely with the team around to make sure patients receive the best care, but you will also be expected to work independently with a case load of patients.
