Brighton, United Kingdom 279 University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Radiopharmacy team at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton. The licensed unit supplies radiopharmaceuticals to three Nuclear Medicine departments in local hospitals. We will shortly be moving to a purpose-built department in a brand new, modern and innovative hospital and are looking to expand the service and the workforce. We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated professional team player with previous experience of manufacturing radiopharmaceuticals and exceptional organisation and communication skills. The impending move into the new hospital will provide an opportunity for expansion of the current Radiopharmacy service in both scale and scope and would suit a dynamic individual who is looking to broaden their experience and to make a positive contribution to the future development of the UHSussex Radiopharmacy.

We are looking for someone to take a leading role in the Quality Assurance for the department. The role also includes supporting the delivery of a comprehensive, efficient and high quality clinical Radiopharmacy service to the Trust and external customers. The key aspects include participation in the manufacture and quality control testing of radiopharmaceuticals and supporting the effective operation of the Quality Management System developed and maintained by the Radiopharmacy covering documentation management, recording and investigation of non-conformances and deviations and the change control process.

The successful applicant will be expected to act as a Radiation Protection Supervisor, so should have good knowledge of relevant legislation related to working with radioactive materials (including IRR and IR(ME)R ), although training will be provided if necessary.

The post involves line management responsibility for a Band 3 Radiopharmacy Technician and will include the training of other staff / students.

Staff are required to have a flexible approach to working hours. The normal hours of the department are from 04:30 - 15:00 and staff work different shifts to cover the service provision, with start times varying between 04:30 - 07:00 on a rotational basis. There may also be occasions when duties may sometimes have to be performed outside of the normal working hours of the Department e.g., at weekends.
