Associate Theatre Manager

Southern Cross Hamilton Hospital

Southern Cross Hamilton Hospital is a well-equipped private surgical hospital based in central Hamilton, proudly providing a wide range of surgical specialties to the wider Waikato community for many years. Our hospital has 8 fully equipped operating theatres, 43 inpatient beds (including four high-dependency unit beds), and a purpose-built Day Surgery Unit. We offer a range of specialties, including but not limited to, orthopaedics, gynaecology, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, spine, and general surgery specialties.

Comfortable facilities, combined with the very latest in technology and on-site support services, enable independent credentialled medical practitioners to undertake a wide range of procedures. These include routine investigations to complex surgery, with their expertise supported by caring, professional nursing teams.

We're looking for an experienced perioperative nurse leader to join our team as an Associate Theatre Manager. This is an exciting opportunity for someone ready to make an immediate impact while broadening their leadership influence and supporting the delivery of exceptional patient care.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building strong relationships, leading through influence, and finding ways to bring out the best in others. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing success of our perioperative service while helping create a workplace where both patients and staff can have an outstanding experience.
