Principal Renal Technologist - Section Head

This senior post has duties mainly concerned with the maintenance of equipment used in treatment of chronic and acute renal disease.

The Renal Unit provides an acute renal failure service and a chronic renal replacement programme for patients in NHS Grampian, Orkney and Shetland regions.

Currently over 220 patients receive regular dialysis with about 180 on haemodialysis. All patients are treated 3 times a week with a total of 28,000 sessions delivered per year.

Dialysis is a life preserving treatment, co-ordinated by a highly skilled team of healthcare professionals. Optimal care requires the combined efforts of Specialist Nurses, Renal Consultants and Renal Technicians. These three teams are completely interdependent and cannot function alone. The renal technicians, including the post holder in this job description, are primarily responsible for the safe provision of dialysis and facilities, but also offer significant clinical input and advice and make up a unique technical team.

We provide cover over 7 days per week, a standard week being 37.5hrs over 5 days. The selected post holder will be expected to show flexibility when required to working outside normal unit treatment times including unsocial hours. This will also be in consideration of duties and responsibilities related to on-call.

The post holder’s role will include adhering to planned preventative maintenance, fault diagnosis and rectification. Maintaining and repairing renal medical equipment, including water treatment in both a medical and home setting.

Informal Enquiries to Mark Cowan, Head of Medical Equipment Management Services (MEMS) on 01224 554039.
