Job Description
The successful candidate will have a Degree in Engineering, Science, or a technology-based subject, together with proven paid experience working in the field. Alternatively, they will have a Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND), plus experience in a relevant workplace setting. Experience of working in a healthcare setting or supporting people with communication or physical disabilities would be advantageous. However, the most important requirement is that the candidate has the necessary technical skills, as full training will be provided regarding patient interventions and the specialist equipment used within the service.
We are looking for someone who is confident and competent in the use of computers, tablets, smartphones, and other smart technologies. The ability to learn and adapt to new technologies and software systems is also essential. The successful applicant will work within a multidisciplinary team.
We are looking for someone who is self-directed, organised, and able to manage their time effectively, with the enthusiasm and motivation to develop the specialist skills required for the role. If you think you have the necessary skills and attributes but perhaps do not have the exact qualifications or experience outlined, we would still like to hear from you. It may be possible to offer a training role at Band 4, progressing to Band 5 upon successful completion of the required competencies.

Responsibilities
As a Clinical Technologist, you will be responsible for fitting, maintaining, and testing specialist equipment, and supporting the team to deliver a timely and efficient service to patients referred for assessment for an environmental control system. The role will involve travelling to patients' homes, nursing homes, and other hospitals, and the post holder will be required to use their own car. Expenses for work-related travel will be reimbursed in arrears.
