About the job

Job summary

We pride ourselves as being an employer of choice, where Everyone Matters promoting equality of opportunity to actively encourage applications from everyone, including groups currently underrepresented in our workforce.

UKHSA ethos is to be an inclusive organisation for all our staff and stakeholders. To create, nurture and sustain an inclusive culture, where differences drive innovative solutions to meet the needs of our workforce and wider communities. We do this through celebrating and protecting differences by removing barriers and promoting equity and equality of opportunity for all.

The Personal Dosimetry Service (PDS) is a commercial service, approved by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. PDS serves over 5,500 employers working with ionising radiations in the industrial, research and medical sectors, by assessing the radiation doses to their employees. This is carried out by means of passive personal dosemeters, which are worn by the employee for a period then returned to PDS for processing and reporting.

This post contributes to the health and safety of employees exposed to ionising radiation in their work environments and requires highly specialised technical, scientific and legislative knowledge and skills coupled with extensive relevant experience.

The post holder will work as part of a team which is responsible for high-volume issuing and processing of various types of radiation dosemeter. This involves opening and receiving dosemeters in the post, loading dosemeters into equipment and monitoring performance, preparing dosemeters for issue to the customer and a small amount of data entry. This role is set in a scientific environment and requires operation of computers and laboratory equipment as well as an excellent level of customer care

Job description

The post holders main duties will involve participating in the day-to-day work of the laboratories, maintaining a high level of accuracy in accordance with procedures. The work covers a wide range of tasks within the Laboratory.

This support is provided as part of a team, although the post holder may work unsupervised, carrying out straightforward functions such as dosemeter processing in accordance with procedures. The job requires a high level of concentration, accuracy, and dexterity. Full on-the-job training will be provided. There will also be close contact with other teams within PDS as well as other PHE groups such as Radiation Metrology and on-site Facilities etc.

The work is carried out to deadlines specified in regulatory requirements, in QA documentation or by line managers. The Laboratory Supervisor (line manager) will be responsible for the organisation of the whole lab workload, but the jobholder will be responsible for his/her own work and will work as part of a team to fulfil the required duties.

Loading, operating, and monitoring specialised equipment
Dealing with in-coming post, paperwork and dosemeters returned for processing including customer queries
Liaising with the Lab Supervisor to investigate customer queries and ensure they are answered in a timely manner
Using PDS bespoke software and equipment to issue and process various types of dosemeters to customers. This requires a high level of thoroughness, accuracy and checking
Reviewing and monitoring supplies, as necessary
Assisting the Laboratory Supervisor to ensure an efficient service to the customer at all times, including giving feedback and suggestions on working practices
Following laboratory and QA procedures, keeping accurate records, and carrying out routine quality assurance procedures, in line with the standard operating procedures.
Sharing in the planning of the work with the team to meet demand, and managing own time to meet targets
The post holder will assist in investigating customer queries and in carrying out any reassessments deemed necessary
