The Medical Physics & Clinical Engineering Department, within the Estates Directorate, is seeking four experienced Band 6 Medical Devices Engineers for a five-month fixed-term project to undertake a comprehensive audit of medical devices and update and reconcile the Trust's medical device asset register.

Two engineers will be based at St Helier Hospital and two at Epsom Hospital, with cross-site working as required. The post holders will work closely with Clinical Engineering, clinical services, Estates, Procurement, Finance and other stakeholders to verify medical equipment and resolve discrepancies in asset records.

The role will involve physically auditing medical devices, verifying asset and equipment details including manufacturer, model, serial number, location, ownership and status, and identifying missing, unregistered, obsolete or incorrectly recorded equipment.

Candidates must have previous NHS Clinical Engineering, Medical Engineering or Medical Devices experience and be able to apply professional judgement when identifying equipment, data-quality issues and potential safety or governance concerns.

The successful candidates will be highly organised, detail-focused and able to work independently across clinical environments. They will contribute to improving medical device governance, asset assurance, maintenance and warranty management, and future equipment replacement and capital planning.

The post holder will undertake a physical audit of medical devices across St Helier Hospital and Epsom Hospital and reconcile findings with the Trust's medical device asset register.
