Thank you for your interest in this role, we would be delighted to welcome you to Sherwood Forest Hospitals.

Sherwood is nationally recognised as being an excellent place to work and deliver care. We are rightly proud of the 5,500 colleagues who work here and know that happy colleagues deliver better care.

Our teams work in a supportive, inclusive environment, which nurtures wellbeing and has opportunities for development and progression. We do not just care for our patients, we also care for you.

At Sherwood Forest Hospitals, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. As such, we particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, or Disabled. We believe that a diverse team better represents the communities we serve and brings a wealth of perspectives and experiences to our work.

Join a dynamic multi‑disciplinary team dedicated to one mission: ensuring safe, reliable medical devices are always available to support high‑quality patient care across the Trust. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a service known for its innovative approach and hands‑on clinical support.

You’ll play a key role in areas such as Trust‑wide resuscitation trolley equipment provision, Equipment Library operations, and technical support within weekly respiratory clinic settings.

• Carry out planned preventive maintenance (PPM), servicing, inspection and repair on a range of non‑complex to moderately complex medical devices
• Perform routine fault‑finding, using appropriate diagnostic techniques to identify and resolve issues
• Support the safe condemnation and disposal of medical devices
• Conduct acceptance testing for new and loaned equipment before clinical use
• Assist with the rollout of newly accepted devices into clinical areas
• Contribute to Trust‑wide resuscitation equipment schemes to ensure readiness and compliance

To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other.

We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
