The Role
Clinical Engineer Specialist Clinical Technologist

Who We Are
Medical equipment is used for medical treatment and diagnosis of patients in all areas of a hospital and beyond. Having fully functional and accurate medical equipment is essential for the safe diagnosis and treatment of patients, and it is the Medical Equipment Management service that is responsible for that equipment.
The Medical Equipment Management service is a team of highly trained clinical engineer technologists who are experts on medical equipment. We work across ten hospital sites in NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, managing the full life cycle of over 55,000 medical equipment devices, completing more than 60,000 jobs per year.
The Opportunity
You will join a team of clinical engineer technologists based at the Royal Hospital for Children, supporting the management of equipment within the Medical Device Library.
You will have a permanent contract with a 36-hour working week that is Monday to Friday. Every day is different, you will help to ensure that medical equipment is available in clinical areas, perform tests on low-risk and non-complex medical equipment, or manage the organisation and ordering of parts for medical equipment. You will receive training on medical equipment management systems and processes, and on the testing of low-risk and non-complex medical equipment, which will enable you to commission, calibrate, performance assure and repair that equipment. Do you think you can make a difference?

- Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
- Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
- Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
