Combined Role: Operating Room Assistant & Nurse

In this unique combined role at Amsterdam UMC, you will work as a (specialized) nurse on a nursing ward and as an operating room assistant in the Operating Center. In this role, you will have the opportunity to hold two positions in one of the most challenging academic hospitals in the Netherlands.

Operating Room Assistant

As an operating room assistant, you will ensure that patients can undergo their surgery safely within a multidisciplinary team. Depending on your specialty, you will assist with long or short procedures. These are primarily the more rare and complex treatments and often involve emergency patients.

(Specialized) nurse

In addition to your role as an operating room assistant, you will work as a (specialized) nurse on a (specialist) (nursing) ward. Together, we will look at which specialty or department best aligns with your experience and ambitions, and where your commitment provides the most added value.

Since we are a university medical center, we also conduct extensive scientific research, develop new medical techniques, and train students. One of your tasks as a nurse and operating room assistant will therefore also include mentoring these colleagues in training.
