About this role

At The Horder Centre, we know that exceptional patient care starts long before a patient enters the operating theatre. We're looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented TSSU Assistant to join our Sterile Services team, playing a vital role in ensuring our surgical teams have the safe, sterile instruments they need to deliver outstanding care. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with sterilisation or theatre experience, or an individual looking to develop a rewarding career in healthcare. If you take pride in high standards, enjoy working as part of a supportive team, and are passionate about patient safety, we'd love to hear from you. As a TSSU Assistant, you'll be responsible for the preparation, decontamination, inspection, packaging and sterilisation of surgical instruments and equipment used throughout our theatres. Your work will directly support the smooth running of surgical procedures and help maintain the highest standards of patient safety.
