We are looking for a Surgical Care Practitioner with strong Urology Robotics or Gynaecology experience to join our Theatres at The Princess Grace Hospital

Step into a dynamic, theatre‑based role at the forefront of robotic surgery. As a Robotics Surgical Care Practitioner, you’ll be hands‑on at the bedside, supporting robotic procedures, preparing patients for surgery and helping to deliver smooth, safe and efficient surgical pathways. With no outpatient clinics, this role keeps you exactly where you excel — in the clinical setting, working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with leading surgeons and multidisciplinary teams who rely on your precision and expertise.

The Princess Grace Hospital is recognised as one of London’s leading multidisciplinary private hospitals and our theatres reflect that standard. We operate seven state‑of‑the‑art theatres, including a hybrid theatre, a dedicated robotic surgery suite and three laminar‑flow theatres purpose‑built for orthopaedics. It’s an environment where advanced technology, innovative techniques and highly skilled theatre professionals come together to deliver exceptional care.

You’ll gain exposure to a broad mix of complex cases across Orthopaedics, Robotics, Urology, General Surgery, Gynaecology, Breast and Spinal. It’s the kind of variety that sharpens your clinical judgement, builds specialist expertise and keeps every day engaging. Across our theatres, you’ll be part of a vibrant, forward‑thinking team working with cutting‑edge equipment and industry‑leading surgical innovation.

This is your opportunity to grow in a hospital that invests in its people, its technology and its future. If you’re energised by robotics, thrive in fast‑paced theatres and want to be part of a team pushing the boundaries of modern surgery, this role puts you right at the centre of it.

What you will do:

• Support Robotic surgery within the department. This is a clinical bedside assistance role with no patient clinics involved

• Responsibility to the consultant surgeon, with day-to-day work under the direction of the operating surgeon and as a member of the surgical care team.

• Patient assessment and preparation for surgery.

• Effectively manage the clinical area on a day to day basis and plan ahead.

At HCA UK we care about what you care about. We care that you want to deliver the very best care. We care that you want a career you can be proud of. We care that you want working conditions that support your health and wellbeing. Let us care for you and your career, the same way you do for others.

What you’ll bring:

• Qualified Surgical Care Practitioner

• MSc, PG Cert, PG Dip Surgical Care Practice

• Experience working as a Qualified Surgical Care Practitioner.

• Strong Robotics, Urology or Gynaecology Experience

• Registration as a healthcare professional (e.g. nurse or ODP)

• A complete and up‑to‑date log book
