No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Help maintain supplies inventories and stock levels, keeping accurate records on the computer system tracking various theatre items and instruments.

- Monitor all procedures and report malfunctions of sterilisers and washer-disinfectors to the Sterile Services Manager and record the details on forms.
- Participate in conducting planned audits, looking at particulars such as equipment being correctly labelled and available as required and that equipment leaving the centre is correctly documented.
