Their Area Support Technicians (ASTs) are customer facing technical contacts for a local 'cluster' of Hospitals that host their services and equipment. The role involves interacting with customers at the bedside in Hospital and with Ward staff and other contacts on the site.

Although you will be part of a team, each AST has operational responsibility for their designated cluster, and should be self driven and committed to the maintenance and success of their services within their cluster. Practical technical skills are key, but soft skills are also vital in this role where you will be working closely with our customers and NHS staff.

Local travel will be required to all hospital sites in your designated cluster.

  • Low level fault resolution to site systems, for example server restarts or satellite receiver reboots
  • Frequent engagement with customers (patients, their friends and family) supporting with the use of the service and to resolve any problems or escalate these if required
  • Managing customer expectations in a professional and polite manner
  • Regular engagement with Ward staff to build rapport and encourage them to raise awareness of the services
  • Working as part of a team with other ASTs and other areas of the business such as the Customer Call Centre
  • Completing end of day reporting and checks
  • Providing cover for other nearby clusters in the Region as required

Key Requirements:

Essential

  • Demonstrated logical, hands on, practical approach to electrical and mechanical problems

  • Computer literate, including knowledge of basic packages such as MS Office Word and Excel and good keyboard skills
  • Ability to prepare and produce professional reports
