• An array of off duty to fit your lifestyle and service needs
• Opportunities to make a difference with quality improvements
• Support to make a career in theatres and beyond
• A shared governance group that is almost up and running
• A social team that loves Gin and Bingo!

What can you do for us?

• Have a keen interest in learning to work within a small team where your influence is important
• Get excited at the thought of learning a number of new skills
• Be ready to expand your skill set to include Breast and Gynaecological skills once the move to the Baird Family Hospital has been completed
• Enjoy the idea of working in one of the most dynamic changing environments available
• Have the confidence to make improvements and work towards them as a team

We are looking for qualified practitioners that have experience within the Acute sector or transferable skills from other areas and/or experienced theatre practitioners.

These theatres form part of the Women and Children’s Division of NHS Grampian Acute sector and so these posts offer opportunities to gain experience in breast and gynaecological surgery and the opportunity to gain experience in children’s theatres if requested.

The obstetric theatres will relocate to the Baird Family Hospital alongside Breast and Gynaecological surgical services and all services will be facilitated within 6 new theatres. The Baird Family Hospital is to be built on the Foresterhill site.

Aberdeen Maternity Hospital theatres are a busy, pressurised and unpredictable environment which provides an opportunity to witness the everyday miracle of birth. The environment also facilitates the development of situational awareness to assist the ability to function in time critical situations.

The successful candidates must be ready to learn, keen to progress and willing to spearhead change

This is your choice and your career, make a difference. At AMH theatres we can support you make it as fulfilling as possible taking us forward with new practice and a new hospital.

An attractive relocation allowance of up to £8,000 is available to successful candidates.
