Are you a dynamic perioperative leader ready to take the next step in your theatre management career?
Do you thrive in a fast‑paced surgical environment where exceptional care, streamlined operations and strong teamwork are essential?

If so, this is your opportunity to join Spire as our new Deputy Theatre Manager — a pivotal, influential role supporting the Theatre Manager in driving excellence across our theatres.

Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital is home to an exceptional range of modern, high‑quality facilities designed to support outstanding clinical care. Our site includes 44 private rooms, a dedicated day‑case suite with 19 private bays, a purpose‑built endoscopy unit, and five operating theatres, including three laminar‑flow theatres specialising in orthopaedic surgery. We also offer an on‑site pharmacy and a dedicated off‑site physiotherapy centre, ensuring seamless care throughout every patient’s journey.

We are also proud to bring in our new da Vinci robotic‑assisted surgery system. This advanced technology enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision, flexibility and control, which can support faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications. It’s an exciting step in enhancing the services we offer and further strengthening our reputation for clinical excellence.

As Deputy Theatre Manager, you’ll play a key role in leading clinical and operational performance within the department. You will support the Theatre Manager in delivering safe, effective, high‑quality theatre services while maximising utilisation, maintaining clinical standards and fostering strong relationships with Consultants and multidisciplinary teams.

This is a hands‑on leadership role where no two days are the same — perfect for an experienced theatre practitioner who enjoys both operational challenges and clinical leadership.
