Job summary

Theatre Scheduling Officer, Band 3 (30 hours a week)

This is an exciting role within the theatre team where you will be working with a dynamic team to ensuringthat the theatre floorplan is maintained, updated and disseminated rapidly and efficiently, on a regular basis, with the purpose of preventing any personnel logistical errors

Main duties of the job

- A fully-utilised theatre resource which impacts partially on the Trust's ability to achieve the national activity targets and fully impacts on the Trust's ability to achieve the surgical waiting times target

- A tool for the use of the theatre and anaesthetic staff to allocate resources, human, equipment and stocks to the right theatre at the right time. Without this function, patients would be cancelled, which, again, would impact on the Trust's RTT and CWT targets
