The Dose Controller plays a key role in ensuring that radiological exposures for personnel working in nuclear facilities are closely monitored, accurately recorded, and kept as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). The role provides real-time dose oversight, supports planning for radiological work, and ensures compliance with UK radiation protection legislation and site-specific arrangements.,

Monitor and record personnel dose uptake in real time during work in controlled areas.
On site control of dose badges and monitoring collection dates, issues etc.
Track cumulative dose exposure and ensure individuals remain within statutory and site limits.
Maintain accurate dose logs and documentation in line with regulatory requirements.
Escalate issues where dose trends approach thresholds or unexpected readings occur.
Support job planning by providing radiological dose rate information and forecasts.
Contribute to the development of safe systems of work and radiological job packs.
Assist in estimating predicted dose for work tasks and ensuring ALARP principles are embedded.
Advise on radiological hazards and required control measures before work begins.
Liaise with Health Physics Monitors, RPS, operational teams, and supervision to coordinate safe radiological working practices.
Communicate dose status clearly to workers during tasks, ensuring awareness of exposure.
Support debriefs and lessons learned relating to radiological performance and unexpected exposures.
Ensure all dose control activities meet the requirements of:
Ionising Radiations Regulations (IRR17)
Nuclear site licence conditions
Local rules and radiological safety procedures
Participate in audits, inspections, and investigations relating to dose control.
Maintain auditable and secure dose-related records.
Issue and recover personal dosimetry equipment such as electronic dose meters (EDMs) and TLDs.
Ensure dosimetry systems are functional and calibrated; report faults immediately.
Assist Health Physics teams in routine radiological surveillance as needed.

Minimum 2 years of experience working in highly regulated environment with minimum of 1 years' experience within the radiological areas (Separation).
Level 2 Nuclear Health Physics Monitor Apprenticeship or Level 2 Certificate in Health Physics Monitoring in the Nuclear Industry.
Proficient in MS Office tools.
Understanding of radiological protection principles (IRR17, ALARP, dose limits).
Strong attention to detail and accuracy in record keeping.
Ability to stay calm, focused, and assertive in high-pressure or hazardous environments.
Clear communication skills and confidence in challenging unsafe behaviours.
Proactive in highlighting risks and proposing improvements.
Team-focused, collaborative, and professional.
Holds Sellafield clearance level and P4 pass.
Ability to work in controlled areas while wearing required PPE and RPE.
Fit to work under radiological conditions as determined by occupational health.
