Job description

The pharmacy production unit based in the Bristol royal infirmary are looking for a Band 2 Specialist Cleaner/Assistant Technical Officer (ATO), who i...

Undertaking the specialist cleaning of the cleanroom areas and associated support areas as defined by departmental standard operating procedures.

Supporting the specialist cleaner in other cleaning tasks as deemed appropriate by the senior team.

Undertaking manufacture of non-sterile medicines such as over labelled packs of tablets, creams, ointments, oral suspensions and liquids.

For detailed job description and main responsibilities, please see attached document. Please ensure you detail how you meet the essential criteria in your supporting information.

Please be aware that the production unit is a very clean environment. A large part of the workwill be undertaken in specialist aseptic clean room facilities which we are required to operate under strict regulatory rules. The guidelines covering the operation of these aseptic facilities mean that staff members with certain long term or recurrent medical or health conditions, such as gastrointestinal or skin conditions, can represent a risk of microbial contamination which therefore precludes access to the clean room.

For candidates information, our Occupational Health team will carry out an assessment at the stage when conditional offers are made. The assessment will consider whether any candidate would not be able to work in an aseptic facility and/or whether any candidate would be able to work in an aseptic facility with any restrictions or reasonable adjustments.
