Theatre Services Manager

We have six operating theatres plus PACU, CSSD and an anaesthetic tech team. It’s an excellent department with a wide range of specialties and a lot of leading edge surgery, which all makes for a really interesting and developmental environment. All lists are staffed by three Registered Nurses and one Anaesthetic Technician.

Most staff work 10 hour shifts over 4 days, with morning lists generally starting from 7:30am onwards, and afternoon lists scheduled to end at 6:00pm. We’ve found that staff are very happy with the 10 hour/4 day work pattern and enjoy the extra day off. We are flexible with other shifts as well. Saturday work is fairly infrequent.

All the specialties and services have Team Leaders who are experts in their field. You will be able to focus on a main specialty area, and your Team Leader will support your learning and in consolidating your expertise.

In our theatres there’s a great team spirit, it’s also a great learning environment and we support lots of education.

Marjorie Garisch

Theatre Co-ordinator

I’m effectively the floor manager looking after the flow of the department. I co-ordinate the staffing and equipment, making sure the mix in the team is right for the list. I also work with the Team Leaders to allocate nurses to the specialties so that staff gain knowledge and consolidate it through consistent application.
