Theatre Manager – New Private Hospital Opening
Option to Relocate to Cambridge
£70,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits (DOE)
Full-Time | Permanent (40 Hours)
A Rare Opportunity to Build a Theatre Service From Scratch
Are you a London-based Theatre Manager looking for something more than just another role?
This is your chance to step into a career-defining position — leading the set-up and delivery of theatres within a brand-new, state-of-the-art private hospital in Cambridge.
With access from London and the option to relocate, this role offers the perfect blend of career progression, autonomy, and lifestyle improvement.
Why This Role Stands Out
Be part of a new hospital launch — not a legacy environment
Opportunity to build and shape your own theatre team
Design and implement clinical pathways, processes, and standards
Work with leading consultants and senior clinical leadership
Join a growing, innovative private healthcare provider
Ideal for London-based candidates seeking progression or a better work-life balance
About the Organisation

Their new Cambridge site will deliver advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive, same-day surgical services across multiple specialties.
Welbeck’s clinician-led partnership model is designed to deliver exceptional patient outcomes while empowering healthcare professionals to shape and influence services.
What’s In It For You
Competitive salary up to £70,000 (DOE)
Generous annual bonus scheme
Private medical insurance
27 days annual leave + bank holidays
Professional fees paid
Pension scheme
Season ticket loan / cycle to work scheme
Employee assistance programme
Ongoing professional development and career progression
Relocation support available
Improved work-life balance vs central London roles
The Role
As Theatre Manager, you will lead the clinical, operational, and strategic development of theatre services within the hospital.
Key responsibilities include:
Overseeing day-to-day theatre operations and perioperative care
Building, leading, and developing a high-performing theatre team
Implementing and embedding clinical governance and quality frameworks
Driving theatre efficiency, utilisation, and patient outcomes
Ensuring compliance with CQC standards and regulatory requirements
Working closely with senior stakeholders including the Clinical Services Director and Medical Director
This is a high-impact leadership role where you will directly shape how services are delivered from day one.
What We’re Looking For
NMC or HCPC registered practitioner
Strong perioperative background (scrub, anaesthetics, or recovery)
Previous experience in a theatre leadership/management role
Proven ability to lead, develop, and influence teams
Strong understanding of clinical governance and quality improvement
Experience with CQC inspections or readiness
Commercial awareness and operational management experience
