Job overview
We are looking to recruit Decontamination Technician Assistants.

Shifts will be allocated on an internal basis. If you are a compassionate and highly motivated individual looking for a role in decontamination services, then please apply through the online application process for NUH/NHS.
Main duties of the job
This fast-paced and high patient turnover area requires passionate and forward-thinking staff. You must be committed to high standards of infection prevention and control and will need to demonstrate the ability to work as a team member as well as under your own initiative. Having excellent communication skills, along with the ability to think independently and prioritise tasks is a must. You will be providing specialist skills, supporting the clinical teams with a wide variety of endoscopic equipment.
You will work closely with a Multidisciplinary Team who care for and support patients through the service. Specialist skills training and supervision will be provided to all successful candidates, enabling them to become proficient in decontamination of flexible endoscopes.
