Job summary
There are two full time positions open, both of per week, attracting enhancement payments for working out of hours in line with NHS terms and conditions.
The Security Department has received significant funding investment and is replacing all its existing CCTV cameras, cables, recording devices and technology. This is an opportunity to be involved from the start as this new security management system is introduced. Synectics Synergy is the new VMS and Briefcam AI has been bought as part of the technology package. Although initially the post holder is likely to start at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (RHH) control room, the service is centralising at the Northern General Hospital as soon as sufficient CCTV cameras are replaced on the RHH site to allow this to happen. This is an opportunity to join a rapidly changing service and be part of that change.
These posts are on a fixed rotating roster and the post holders will be required to work all shifts on whichever day or time the rostered shift falls.

Provide a response service for alarms at the Trust.
Provide an out of hours repair response helpline for the estates department.
