Please note: Although this role is being advertised by East Lancashire Hospitals Trust, the role is based at, and working on behalf of, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust properties through the One Lancashire and South Cumbria (One LSC) corporate collaboration.
Overview
The Estates department at Furness General Hospital is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftsperson, and dedicated support staff.
We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic electrician to join us.
Role Details
You should be experienced, time served, and suitably qualified in an electrical trade, and/or associated plant maintenance and fault finding.
You will work under the Electrical Estates Officer, embarking on a challenging adventure, safely, efficiently, and with patient and staff safety at the heart of your focus.
Working as part of a team, and individually, you will be required to carry out electrical maintenance and installation work within acute and community NHS properties. This will be on power and lighting systems, electrical heating, motors, lifts, and back‑up generators. There may also be additional work on systems such as ventilation, air conditioning, and other healthcare‑related electrical services – with full training.
The successful candidate must be able to self‑motivate, work relatively unsupervised, and be a good communicator on all levels. Flexible working will be required where you will assist other trades and undertake other tasks to maintain the building services.
A healthcare background would be advantageous but not essential – as specific training will be provided.
Location
This post is based at Furness General Hospital. We operate from three main hospitals – Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH). We also support a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital, a GP Practice, and Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe.
Services Context
FGH and the RLI provide a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant‑led services.
RLI also provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non‑life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
