HSSU Technician

Wimbledon, London | HSSU | Full Time

37.5 hours Per Week

Our HSSU (Hospital Sterile Services Unit) plays a vital role in transporting sterile and disinfected surgical equipment to the local hospital network. Now, you can too. Join the UK’s largest Healthcare Charity and you’ll have every chance to help improve lives. In return, you’ll experience our unrivalled rewards.

Taking care of the nation’s health starts with a supply of sterile and disinfected medical devices that meet our customers’ needs. From processing used surgical instruments for dispatch to receiving sterile surgical equipment and supporting our friendly theatre team – you’ll make sure everything runs smoothly. The role is physically demanding; you will be required to lift and handle sometimes heavy instrument sets and endure long periods of standing. Previous experience working with a quality system or in the decontamination is desirable but not essential.

As a HSSU Technician at Parkside Hospital, you’ll:
• Sterilise, assemble and pack surgical instruments used in operations in theatres, in accordance with manufacturers guidelines and following Nuffield policies
• Check the correct instruments are on trays pre and post decontamination
• Complete accurately tracking systems
• Monitor repairs of instruments
• Record sterilisation and packing information related to designated tasks accurately and pass it on to the relevant person in the theatre team on time
