THE OPPORTUNITY

You will have a permanent contract with a 36‑hour working week that is Monday to Friday.

You will receive competency‑based training on a range of low‑risk and non‑complex medical equipment, which will enable you to commission, calibrate, performance‑assure and repair that equipment.
