It’s an exciting time to be joining this hospital – with high levels of investment taking place, they have recently opened a 2nd operating theatre, expanded their imaging department and renovated several key patient areas. With opportunities to expand their surgical services, they currently offer a mix of specialties including orthopaedics, general surgery, gynecology, urology, endoscopy, ENT, spinal, cosmetics and dental.
This is a full-time Infection Prevention and Control Lead role, working 37.5 hours per week, Monday – Friday across 5 days.
As the Infection Control Lead, you can expect to:
- Work with the team to promote best infection control practice and reduce infection rates across the hospital.

- Provide expertise to the clinical and senior management team, advising on the purchase and maintenance of equipment relating to IPC issues.
- Investigate any infections, keep up to date with the latest IPC research and guidelines and share this knowledge with the wider team.
- A thorough knowledge of Infection Control Policy within a hospital setting.
