What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Band 2/healthcare role where I can support patients confidently, keep clinical areas compliant and stocked, and assist safely in theatre or eye services while continuing to develop my clinical and training skills.

I’m a Band 2 Theatre Assistant with Betsi Cadwaladr NHS Trust, focused on making sure the theatre is ready for incoming patients every day. I collect patients from the ward, complete the necessary paperwork, and reassure patients prior to arrival.

During and after operations, I assist theatre staff by ensuring instruments are opened, sterile, and ready for use. I also collect units of blood, deliver specimens, and keep the theatres cleaned and stocked up as required.

Before theatre, I worked as a Health Care Assistant at the Eye Hospital, rotating across Outpatients Clinic, IVT Injection Clinic, and Operating Theatre. In clinic, I tested patients’ vision, administered eye drops, checked pressure within the eye, and supported additional tests including blood sugar testing.

I combine hands-on care with strong compliance and safety training, including First Aid, Basic Life Support, Manual Handling, Confidentiality, Recognising Abuse, Fraud Awareness, and ANTT. I also hold NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Health & Social Care and workplace training such as Blood Fridge Collection and Blood Sugar Training.
