The doses you prepare before dawn become the scan that stages someone's disease, the therapy that treats it, and the evidence that proves a new treatment works. It's precise, high-stakes work — and you'll see exactly where it lands. We're looking for an experienced technician ready to step up to join our team of 28 people including pharmacists, scientists, technicians and ATO’s. You'll be at the bench and in the cleanroom, aseptically preparing diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, running QC and environmental monitoring, and helping deliver a service that supports our own patients and seven external nuclear medicine departments. You'll also line manage our Band 4 and 5 technicians, take charge of day-to-day cleanroom operations, and deputise for the one of our section leads. Beyond the routine, there's real scope to grow with novel radiopharmaceutical development, clinical trials work, and a genuine hand in our Quality Management System — SOPs, validation, CAPA and self-inspection. If you want your technical skill to count for something, we'd like to hear from you. ### Main duties of the job - To provide a comprehensive clinical Radiopharmacy service to the Trust and external purchaser. - To develop key specialist services with the support of the senior team in Radiopharmacy. - To demonstrate an extremely high standard of accuracy and safety. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities For further information on this role, please see the attached detailed Job Description and Person Specification: - The post-holder will undertake the routine aseptic production of both diagnostic and therapeutic radioactive medicinal products for clinical use, operating within the terms of Standard Operating Procedures. - The post-holder will perform a range of in vitro laboratory tests using unsealed source of radioactivity, operating within the terms of Standard Operating Procedures. - The post-holder will calculate results from such tests, and enter the confirmed results on to the system for verification by the radiopharmaceutical scientists. - The post-holder will maintain suitable levels of both stock and non-stock items in the Radiopharmacy, as defined in Standard Operating Procedures. - To dispose of radioactive waste in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures. - The post-holder will be required to comply with relevant statutory requirements relating to the manufacture of radioactive medicinal products, including those related to Good Manufacturing Practice, as defined in The Rules and Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Distributors (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). ### Applicant requirements You must have appropriate UK professional registration.
