Operating Room Assistant

• Strong team spirit: you work intensively with our specialists, surgical assistants, and other colleagues in a collegial atmosphere.
• Room for your ideas: we encourage you to think along and actively contribute to innovation and improvement.
• High-tech working environment: you are at the table for a wide range of operations and work with the latest surgical techniques, including three Da Vinci robots, and within our ultra-modern hybrid OR.

As a surgical assistant at the Antonius, you work within almost all specialties. You perform your profession in its full breadth: from low- and medium-complexity operations to care at the highest level.

Side by side, you work with top surgeons and colleagues who are just as driven as you are. Together, you guide patients safely, comfortably, and with confidence through their surgery. The latest surgical technologies and methods are your tools in this.

And at least as important? Our atmosphere. The work is intensive, but we do it together. We help each other, find a balance between hard work and socializing, and drink the best coffee, straight from our own barista machine.

Operating at the highest level, that is working at the St. Antonius Hospital. You work in one of the largest top-clinical hospitals in the Netherlands. Patients come to us from all over the country for an enormous variety of operations. That variety makes your work not only interesting, but also incredibly educational.

With us, you get plenty of opportunities to specialize. Think of cardiothoracic surgery, oncology, or orthopedics. Or deepen your knowledge in robotic surgery. Additionally, we invest in your growth with training to further expand your knowledge. You can also actively contribute ideas regarding new techniques and improvements in the field.

• In Nieuwegein, the focus is on cardiac, vascular, and thoracic surgery, robotic surgery, major surgery, and minimally invasive procedures from various specialties.
• In Utrecht, you work on procedures within the specialties of orthopedics, traumatology, general surgery, plastic surgery, ENT, gynecology, and maternity care.

You work at both locations, but we will of course take your preference into account.

"For me, the Antonius is a nice compromise between an academic and a peripheral hospital. We perform many special procedures here, for example, thoracic surgery. In terms of professional content, it is truly next level. I find that very attractive."
