Operating Room Assistant Day Surgery

As an Operating Room Assistant in Day Surgery, you will work in an organized, predictable environment where tranquility, quality, and personal attention are central. You form a close-knit team with other operating room assistants, anesthesia technicians, and specialists. Procedures are scheduled and less complex, mostly under local anesthesia, and there are no acute shifts. This ensures predictability and a pleasant work-life balance.

You work in 8- or 9-hour shifts between 07:30 and 17:00. The day surgery complex is modern, bright, and organized, with multiple specialties and room to continue practicing your profession broadly. The combination of specialist ophthalmology and streamlined, routine procedures makes the work varied without the hectic pace.

• Assisting with scheduled surgical procedures, primarily under local anesthesia.
• Preparing and safely setting up the operating room according to current guidelines.
• Ensuring patient safety and a calm, pleasant experience for every patient.
• Collaborating with fellow operating room assistants, anesthesia technicians, and specialists.
• Actively contributing to improvements in work processes and to a learning-oriented team climate.
• Performing on-call shifts for Ophthalmology from home (no acute shifts).

You work in the Day Surgery Operating Rooms: a modern, bright, and technically advanced OR complex with five operating rooms. Two of these are equipped for ophthalmic procedures under local anesthesia; the other three are used for several surgical specialties, such as ENT, Surgery, Urology, Gynecology, Plastic Surgery, Pain Management, and Pediatric Surgery. This makes the work environment organized and versatile, without the dynamics of acute care.

Day Surgery is part of the Operating Rooms and manages all organizational, nursing, and OR-technical steps from admission to discharge. Due to its small scale, the atmosphere is personal. You work with a team of approximately 26 colleagues managed by two operational managers. Personal development is central within the team. New colleagues are carefully onboarded by experienced operating room assistants, and there is room for initiative, feedback, and continuous improvement. The culture is open, involved, and focused on getting better together. This provides a fine foundation to deepen your craftsmanship and deliver quality-oriented care.

You are an operating room assistant who enjoys working in an organized and predictable setting. You have an eye for quality, work carefully, and enjoy working in a team where collaboration and mutual attention are second nature.

• A shadowing day as part of the procedure before your job interview.
