Summary
The postholder must be able to work a mixture of shifts to perform the role. This includes Long Days/Nights to support 24/7 cover of the ICU. This will include weekends as well as Bank Holidays. The postholder will support clinical aspects such as line insertions, TCDs, airway support, intrahospital transfer of the critically ill patient, whilst also provding clinical/technical support to nursing staff and doctors. The postholder will also support the insertion of ICP/EVD bolt technology and set up specialist patient monitoring systems specific to ICU. Further aspects of the role include liaising with Clinical Engineering relating to PPM, servicing or repair of specialist equipment. A Driving License isn't specifically required for this particular position. However, it would be useful as part of the strategic plan for evolving current services. Some of the skills within the Job Description are department/specialism specific (i.e. TCDs for Neuro, SORT for PICU), and are therefore not expected of all team members working within the role across all ICUs. However, re-allocation as well as workforce rotation is a possibility to meet service demands of the organisation. The role is open to recognised Critical Care Technologists, Healthcare Scientists, Critical Care Nurses, Operating Department Practitioners, and those from a Clinical Engineering background who meet the requirements of the Person Specification and have experience with Critical Care devices.
