About the role
Why do we need technical staff? Technical staff have the practical skills and knowledge to turn concepts into reality and to contextualise the theory of the lecture theatre for students through practical support, training, advice and guidance. They ensure that staff and students creating and experimenting with new techniques and equipment can do so safely and successfully. Staff and students working on practical healthcare courses place an incredibly high value on the support, guidance, training, and advice that technical staff provide. Technical staff add genuine value to learning that lasts a lifetime.
Is this the job for you?
Would you like to use your skills, knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to support staff and students from diverse backgrounds working in healthcare with a wide range of techniques? Do you want to develop and grow our technical service, providing ever increasing opportunities to help students realise their professional potential? Do you enjoy using practical skills in an interactive and engaging way?
Why you will want to work with us
In Technical Services we work as a team and the staff all support each other, sharing advice and discussing topics that span the service.

We are proud signatories of the Technician's Commitment which aims to ensure visibility, recognition, career development and sustainability for technicians and we encourage professional registration.
