Clinical Engineer

An exciting fixed-term opportunity (up to the end of August 2027) has arisen within the Clinical Engineering department at King's College Hospital. The post will provide cover for a colleague who is away on secondment until the end of August 2027.

The role will support the medical device safety officer to manage the response to safety notices and will contribute to an extensive asset inventory audit programme across the Denmark Hill site. There will also be opportunities to develop experience in other aspects of the medical equipment life-cycle, such as equipment replacement projects, establishing planned maintenance programmes and responding to reported incidents involving medical devices.

The post would suit someone with a background in medical equipment maintenance/management, who is looking to develop into a wider governance role within the clinical engineering sector., This role will have a particular focus on ensuring accurate asset records are created and maintained, developing customised reports detailing equipment service history and leading inventory audits across the Trust. More broadly, the post holder will provide technical input to all aspects of medical equipment governance across the equipment life-cycle, including the planning and delivery of medical equipment procurement projects, establishing preventative maintenance levels, investigating safety related incidents and actioning safety alerts.
