Band 2 Administrative Assistant- Approved Dosimetry

6 months ago


Birmingham, United Kingdom University Hospitals Birmingham Full time

**Job summary**:
Due to the expansion of our service, an opportunity has arisen to join the small, friendly administrative team of RRPPS's Approved Dosimetry Service.

RRPPS is the Radiation Protection Service of University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We provide the full range of medical physics and radiation protection services to UHBFT and external customers, including an HSE-approved Approved Dosimetry Service (ADS). The ADS provides monitoring "badges" to staff working with radiation; these are worn for a period then returned to be read and reported.

This post involves preparing dosemeters; issuing them to customers and receiving them back at the end of the monitoring period; updating the bespoke ADS database; sending out dose reports; and dealing with customer queries.

**Main duties, tasks & skills required**:
The post holder provides administrative support to the Approved Dosimetry Service. This involves:

- Using an agreed procedure to collate and send out radiation dosemeters and associated paperwork, ensuring dosemeters match the paperwork and are issued to the correct client and wearer.
- Collecting post daily, prioritising by placing in date order and checking for returns from "classified" workers.
- Checking returned dosemeters for any damage or contamination.
- Checking that dosemeters returned by clients are consistent with paperwork (usually returned by the client)
- Logging receipt of dosemeters on a specialised computer system, adding pre-defined comments where appropriate.
- Entering and amending personal details as notified by clients onto the computer system, which contains records for over 100,000 individuals
- Allocating and sending out additional or one-off dosemeters for clients as and when requested.
- Performing pre-defined checks on data to ensure records are correct.
- Supplying dosemeters to the Physicists and Technicians within RRPPS for use on surveys.
- Receiving and dealing with telephone calls from clients. This involves using initiative and judgement to pass on non-routine calls.

**About us**:
We are recognised as one of the leading NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK. Our vision is to Build Healthier Lives, and we recognise that we need incredible staff to do this.

Our commitment to our staff is to create the best place for them to work, and we are dedicated to:
Investing in the health and wellbeing of our staff, including a commitment of offering flexible working where we can;
Offer our staff a wide variety of training and development opportunities, to support their personal and career development objectives.

UHB is committed to ensuring that our staff are treated fairly and feel that they belong, by creating a kind and inclusive environment. This is about equity of opportunity; removing all barriers, including discrimination and ensuring each individual member of staff reach their true potential, achieve their ambitions and thrive in their work. This is more than words. We are taking action. Our commitment to an inclusive culture is embedded at all levels of the organisation where every voice is heard, driven by our diverse and active staff networks, and at Board level by the Fairness Taskforce led by our CEO. We nurture a culture which empowers staff to challenge discriminatory behaviours and to enable people to bring their 'whole self' to a kinder, more connected and bold place to work.
