Job description

Job overview

We are looking for a motivated person who is interested in helping to provide a safe, high quality Endoscopy Decontamination service to patients at The Princess Royal Hospital, Telford. Full time hours available.

You'll work closely with the team to provide the best care for our patients working under strict guidelines and protocols. However, once training has been provided, staff will look to you for advice and expertise regarding decontamination and best practice.

You must be conscientious and have the ability to give attention to detail. You will need to possess GCSE grades 9 - 4 (or equivalent) in Maths and English and have the ability to work to tight deadlines as the Endoscopy Unit is extremely busy with all three procedure rooms running to full capacity.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work well within a team are essential. You must also have excellent documentation and record keeping skills. Experience is desirable but not required as full training will be given.

Main duties of the job

The job involves the manual cleaning and decontamination of flexible endoscopes before and after Endoscopy.

Manual dexterity is an essential requirement to the role. You will become an expert in this area and will be expected to take a lead in the decontamination room. This will involve managing the equipment so that scopes are ready for morning, afternoon, and evening lists.

You will also be required to send scopes away for service and repair.

Working for our organisation

The Endoscopy Unit provides a service to both outpatients and in-patients undergoing Gastroscopy, EUS, Flexible Sigmoidoscopy, Colonoscopy, Bronchoscopy EBUS, and PEG insertion. The unit is currently open 7 days a week including weekends and bank holidays.

We will provide in-house training and fully support your professional development.
