The ward and theatres - currently under construction - are set to open at City Hospital in autumn and will support the Digestive Diseases specialties within the surgical division.
They are part of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust’s drive to address the long waits for planned operations resulting from the pandemic, and will provide vital capacity to respond to future demand.
A wide range of roles is available, from nurses and specialist nurses, healthcare assistants, ward managers and deputies, to housekeepers, porters, theatre operatives and administrators, and upcoming recruitment events will provide an opportunity for people to find out more.
As well as three theatres, the new theatres building will include an Enhanced Perioperative Care Unit (EPOC), which will offer a higher level care for patients with greater monitoring, treatment or care needs than those provided on normal post-operative wards, but who do not require critical care interventions.
Ayan Banerjea, Divisional Director for Surgery, said: “This is an exciting time to be joining the Trust. Not only is Nottingham University Hospitals one of the busiest acute teaching hospitals in the country, with a fantastic reputation for nursing education, training and research, but the new facilities we are developing at the City Hospital will offer a great environment in which to work and deliver care.“
Recruitment events are planned to take place in late September and November.
