Join to apply for the EBME Technician role at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.
These posts are within the EBME Department of the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, a large acute Trust with around 900 beds serving the population of South East London. This post is based at University Hospital Lewisham where there is a team of 4 EBME technicians, with a similarly sized team at Queen Elizabeth Hospital making up the EBME department. There is support between the two main sites and flexibility in working at Lewisham is required from time to time. Support to outlying community sites may also be required.
The Trust EBME department has recently expanded as it has taken an external contract in-house and is embarked on a process of improvement to introduce a formal Quality System and integration of the inventory and job management across the Trust.
This is an excellent opportunity for an EBME technician to be involved in a department that is expanding its role within a busy acute NHS Trust.
Hours are 37.5 (8-5 Monday – Friday). You will participate in Out of Hours “On Call” ROTA.
Please note that interviews are face to face, and there is a practical test prior to interview; you must be able to attend the Trust Hospital site in person.
