The Decontamination Technicians post is 37.5 hours per week; all Technicians are rostered to work Saturday and Sundays. The Decontamination Technician is required to carry out the full duties in the Central Endoscopy Decontamination unit which is monitored by our Quality Standard and may be required work across sites at Queen Elizabeth, Solihull, Heartlands and Goodhope Hospital. This is an exciting opportunity to develop new skills and to offer a vital service to all clinical areas.

If you have endoscopy decontamination experience or experience working in a clean room environment, then this would be an advantage. If no previous skills and you wish to join a dynamic team, then full training and development will be delivered. The unit is open from 7 am until 7pm and will require flexibility in working between these hours with Saturday / Sunday working as part of the rota.
