Hello Theatre Team, I am looking for two scrub staff for NHS Western Isles from now until the end of March
The first post is from as soon as possible until the end of March and will be 37.5 hours each week. This is a lovely opportunity for a scrub ODP or RN to join the team in Stornoway. Your flights/ferry to and from the assignment will be reimbursed, and accommodation is provided.
From the 14th of February, I need a second scrub practitioner to join the team. This is to take over from our Head Medical scrub nurse who is already there. The same travel and accommodation offer applies.
You must have current registration with the NMC/HCPC and be eligible to work in the UK. You must also have a minimum of 18 months' post-graduate experience.
If you or anyone you know with relevant experience is interested, please give me a call to find out more.
