Job Advert

Feel like a change from the hustle and bustle?

At the Lorn & Islands Hospital we require a scrub/endoscopy practitioner, with a UK recognised qualification.

Some experience within Theatre and some knowledge in endoscopy would be an advantage for this full time post. This post also covers an on call rota for emergencies.

Experience in monitoring of patients receiving conscious sedation for endoscopy would also be advantageous.

In our friendly theatre suite we have one theatre and one endoscopy room where our three general surgeons, one physician, one oral surgeon plus local dentists and a visiting ophthalmologist offer a varied programme of, general surgery, ophthalmology, colorectal, laparoscopic, oral and dental surgery. In addition our physician and surgeons also provide a very busy endoscopy service. We have anaesthetists who provide an offsite ECT service and a support to x-ray and HDU

The patients who access our services are always very appreciative of the high quality of care and the personal attention they receive here.  You could help us to maintain and improve this service.              

The multi-skilled team here can offer and support you professionally with:

  • Scrub experience
  • Endoscopy experience
  • Recovery experience

Many courses and study days are held locally to maintain your professional development.

Socially, Oban is a great place to live, with outstanding opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, sailing, diving, canoeing and horse riding on your doorstep as well as the Inner Hebrides to explore.

Come for an informal visit and see for yourself.  The team are waiting to welcome you.
