The start date for this post will be on or after 1st April 2024


Working within a friendly supported environment an exciting opportunity has become available to work within the Decontamination area of the Endoscopy unit at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston.


The United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust was formed in April 2000 by the merger of the three former acute hospital trusts in Lincolnshire, creating one of the largest trusts in the country.


We provide a comprehensive range of hospital-based medical, surgical, paediatric, obstetric and gynaecological services to the 700,000 people of Lincolnshire and beyond.

Our healthcare services are delivered by approximately 7,800 highly trained staff and volunteers. Our services cost £360m each year to provide, most of which are bought by NHS Lincolnshire (PCT).


We invest around £18 million each year in improving our clinical services by replacing and upgrading medical equipment, modernising estate and facilities and improving information and technology infrastructure.

Each year, we treat more than 180,000 accident and emergency patients and carry out more than 69,000 procedures.


The Endoscopy Unit's within the Trust perform a variety of standard and advanced Endoscopic procedures for both out-patients and in-patients including; gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, percutaneous endoscopic gastroscopy (PEG) insertion, oesophageal stenting and ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography).

Other specialist work is also undertaken by individual consultants.


The Endoscopy unit is presently open between 0800hrs and 19:00 hrs Monday to Friday, 0800hrs to 13.00hrs Saturday/ Sunday and 0800hrs and1400hrs Bank Holidays.

Our aim is to provide the very highest standards of care to patients and relatives alike ensuring privacy and dignity is maintained at all times.


Our Trust is situated in the beautiful county of Lincolnshire and is one of the biggest acute hospital trusts in England, serving a population of more than 700,000 people.

We provide acute and specialist services to people in Lincolnshire and neighbouring counties. We have an annual income of £643 million (20/21) and we employ nearly 8,500 people.


Our Board have recently agreed a new vision statement - "Outstanding Care Personally Delivered" - stating their ambition for our Trust to be among the best.


We also have a five year Integrated Improvement Plan setting out how we will achieve our strategic objectives, for patients, services, people and partners, the last recognising that our future success depends on our ability to ensure the Lincolnshire healthcare system is successful in achieving its ambition to help people live healthier lives and provide care closer to where people live.

Our latest CQC report increased our ratings for being effective and well-led from 'Requires Improvement' to 'Good'. Our rating for caring remained as 'Good'.


This is in recognition of the huge amount of work that our amazing staff have done to improve the quality of care for our patients in recent years.


We are committed to helping our staff balance their work and home lives and ensure they feel supported, valued and appreciated.
