An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen to join the well-established nursing team within the Endoscopy Unit at Perth Royal Infirmary. This busy department provides a five-day service providing diagnostic and therapeutic services for a variety of investigations including Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, Gastroscopy, Bronchoscopy and EBUS, for both out-patients and in-patients.

We are looking for an individual who will enjoy working in a challenging environment. A large part of the Health Care Support Worker roles involves the decontamination of endoscopes. Previous experience in this type of work would be an advantage.
