We are looking for applicants who can demonstrate significant experience working in fit testing and training. Applicants should be proactive and enthusiastic about promoting an effective Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) Programme throughout NHS Grampian, in both clinical and non‑clinical areas.

The post holder will also monitor organisational practice related to RPE, including the donning, doffing and wearing of RPE by staff.

The post holder will be expected to provide advice, education and support to other staff about RPE across NHS Grampian’s large and diverse workforce to ensure that they are effectively protected through the use of RPE from exposure to hazardous pathogens and substances.
