-
Support the delivery of safe, high‑quality endoscopy procedures within a theatre environment
-
Assist clinicians during diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures
-
Prepare, check and maintain equipment in line with infection prevention and decontamination standards
-
Monitor and support patients throughout their endoscopy journey, maintaining dignity and comfort
-
Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation while working closely with the multidisciplinary team
What you’ll bring:
-
Current professional registration with NMC or HCPC
-
Proven experience in endoscopy or theatre practice within NHS or private healthcare
-
Senior‑level experience or the confidence to work autonomously within an endoscopy setting is ideal
-
A sound understanding of endoscopy procedures, patient pathways and safety standards
-
Strong communication skills and the ability to work flexibly within a multidisciplinary team
