You will be dynamic and motivated by what you do with strong interpersonal skills that will really make a positive impact on the challenges faced by our team.

Your skills, experience and decisiveness will really help you do this.
A full UK Driving Licence is essential role this role.
It’s fair to say this job is varied and will keep you on your toes. Sometimes the role will be tough, you will be rushed off your feet and you will need to react quickly to changing priorities. Other times, it’s more steady and you can do planned activity in a more methodical way – but if the need arises, you can soon be on your way to a ward or department to sort a problem to keep everything flowing as effectively as possible. Our patient care is the best it can be because of the responsive service we provide to servicing and fixing the machines and pieces of equipment, overcoming challenges and finding solutions which our hospital colleagues so rely on.
You will provide a full range of medical device management and maintenance services to all clinical locations throughout our Hospitals. You will have an eye for detail and understand the importance of accurately updating the medical equipment management database. We can train you on all our processes and procedures and we have years of experience and a wealth of knowledge right across the team so you will soon be up to speed.
You’ll be proactive to help us ensure our service is the best it can be by being focussed on best practice and by highlighting any process that could be improved. Continually improving our ISO 9001:2015 accredited department via internal and external audit is so important to us, ensuring ongoing compliance with the Quality Management Standard.
We’ve tried to portray that this is a busy department but that it is an ideal opportunity for you if you thrive in this kind of fast-paced technical environment. We’re busy, frequently working to tight timescales and juggling multiple priorities – but for the right candidate, we know this will make the role even more rewarding.
So what can we offer you? Well, as well as working for our ISO 9001:2015 accredited department, you will be joining a very strong and dedicated team who work hard together and have fun along the way. We will help you develop your skills; give you opportunities to work on a wide range of medical devices.
You will also, meet so many different people all playing different roles within our hospitals, no two days will be the same so being bored at work won’t be something you ever have to contend with. We use an increasingly wide range of medical equipment in order to deliver our healthcare services, so there will always be something new and different to learn.
