Job overview

Are you someone who enjoys practical, hands‑on work and takes pride in keeping vital equipment running smoothly? This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward‑thinking multi‑disciplinary team dedicated to one mission: maximising the availability of safe, reliable medical devices that directly support patient care across the Trust.

Our service is at the heart of several innovative initiatives, including Trust‑wide resuscitation trolley equipment provision, a responsive Equipment Library service, and technical support for devices used in busy respiratory clinic settings. No two days look the same, and your contribution will have a real, visible impact on patient safety and clinical efficiency.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in delivering the Trust’s rolling programme of planned maintenance and ensuring that essential devices—such as beds, pumps, and other equipment—are always ready when needed.

If you are motivated by ensuring safe, reliable equipment is available where it’s needed most, and you’re ready to play a vital role in supporting clinical teams across the Trust, we would be delighted to receive your application. Join us and help deliver high‑quality care through excellence in medical device support.
