Anaesthetic Practitioner ODP / RGN B6

Job overview

Band 6 Anaesthetic Practitioner Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust

Step up. Lead. Make an impact.

Ready to take your next career step? We’re looking for confident, experienced Band 6 Anaesthetic Practitioners to join our dynamic theatre teams at Royal Surrey — to include working in our brand-new, state-of-the-art operating theatres known as the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre (CASIC).

This is a unique opportunity to combine clinical expertise with leadership, working at the forefront of surgical innovation while supporting and guiding teams across a wide range of perioperative settings. We are looking for highly flexible practitioners who thrive in a dynamic environment and are confident working across multiple departments while supporting service delivery and staff development.

Main duties of the job

Why This Role Stands Out

CASIC is changing the game.

• 7,000 additional patients treated every year
• 60% cancer-related surgery
• Serving a population of up to 3 million
• Delivering faster, smarter, patient-centred care

But this role goes beyond one department. You’ll work across theatres, day surgery, and specialist areas, keeping every day varied, challenging, and rewarding.

More Than a Job — A Leadership Role

You’ll be a visible leader on the ground, driving high standards and supporting the anaesthetic practitioners’ team to deliver exceptional care.

• Lead by example in busy, high-performing clinical environments
• Support and mentor Band 5s, students, and new staff
• Keep services running smoothly across multiple areas
• Step up, make decisions, and take ownership

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver safe, high-quality anaesthetic care across a range of settings
• Work flexibly wherever the service needs you
• Provide effective support to the anaesthetic team and support patient flow
• Attend and assist at priority calls in all areas of the hospital
• Champion patient safety, quality, and efficiency
• Be part of innovation — from advanced techniques to robotic surgery
