Job Summary
We are looking for an individual who has the drive, enthusiasm, and personality to become a key member of staff within one of Europe's largest dialysis programs. Working across multiple areas, you will be responsible for planning/managing your own workload within this interesting role, which involves assisting in the day-to-day technical operations of our hospital-based department. You will become a key department contact for our extensive home dialysis program through the forming of close working relationships. The varied role will allow the post holder to work within ITU and externally at other Trust hospitals. The role will involve extended periods working alone off-site.
Main Duties, Tasks & Skills Required
The key elements of the role will be ensuring that at all times, the service continues to provide a high level of safety and assurance to not only our in-patient population but patients choosing to self-treat within their homes. This will be done through the development of close working relationships with both patients, their carers, and ensuring the effective performance and maintenance of our water testing program. The post holder will ensure at all times that UHB meet their commitment to both continue best practice and national standards. Within this varied interesting role, the post holder will enjoy working across various specialties, including ITU, within other local Trusts while assisting the wider technical team in completing tasks, including the removal/swapping of equipment from patients' homes, delivering stock across our dialysis satellite clinics, and providing general assistance across the renal program when required.
