• Death in Service benefit provided
• Be a part of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) and the associated benefits of having a stake in the company

• Repair and maintenance of products in a hospital environment (on wards and in on-site bed stores)
• Carry out Planned Preventative Maintenance on all products
• Ensure clean, ready-to-use products are taken to the correct hospital locations
• Collect products after use and return to the agreed collection areas
• Complete job records on a handheld PDA device

• The ability to work on your own initiative and follow procedures laid out by the business to achieve deadlines
• A basic knowledge of hygiene and safety rules
