Sterile Services Supervisor
- Worcestershire
- 16,000-17,999 per annum
- March 25, 2019
- Permanent
Our trust manages three hospitals in Worcestershire: the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch; Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre and Worcestershire Royal Hospital. We also manage a surgery ward at Evesham Community Hospital.
We provide acute services to a population of over 500,000 and our staff are recognised as providing good and outstanding patient-centred care.
Our vision is about taking pride in our healthcare services, and our PRIDE values are important in our everyday work.
In Worcestershire, hospital services are under review. Over the next year, we will be working with Clinical Commissioning Groups to plan the best way for services to be delivered from our three hospitals. It will involve centralising some services, and changing the way we work.
We are committed to making changes that ensure all of our hospitals thrive, and it’s an exciting time for you to join us.
Part time: Flexible working of 30.5 hours between 8am and 8pm with occasional other hours to be flexible as and when required
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is an organisation going through considerable change and as such we are looking for an enthusiastic individual to lead our particular changes in order to fulfil customer requirements.
You will be one of four supervisors overlooking a small number of sterile service assistants overseeing the collection, cleaning, inspection, packing and sterilisation of hospital medical equipment and surgical instrumentation across two shifts. You will be able to lead and organise a group of assistants to work as part of a team, prioritising workload to achieve the daily work requirements and have a flexible approach to your work. You should also possess good verbal and written communication skills. Previous supervisory or production experience in a similar environment and the NHS would be preferable, however full training will be given. There may be opportunities to undertake further additional training which will lead to a nationally recognised decontamination specific qualification.
Participation in an on-call system will be required as and when required.
This department fulfils a very important role within the hospital and there will be the requirement to work weekends as part of a rota organised for supervisors. Overtime opportunities do exist on a fairly regular basis.
For further enquiries please contact: Stephen Steward, HSDU Manager on 01527 512076
