Medical Engineering Technician MTO3+3 £17831 to £23463(negotiable)

We require a Medical Engineering Technician who must have at least five years experience gained specifically in medical equipment maintenance, fault-finding down to component level. You will also have gained formal electronics qualifications to at least HNC/ONC level or equivalent.

The post is within our ISO9000 accredited Medical Engineering facility based at Macclesfield District General Hospital, providing a medical and specialised equipment maintenance service to East Cheshire NHS Trust and other healthcare organisations.

You will be UK resident, self-motivated, have good interpersonal skills and prepared to work as a member of a team of five Medical Technical Officers. The duties are complex in nature, demanding high levels of responsibility and independent judgement.

For your professional development, you will be expected to attend manufacturer's product training courses and any other training event, as and when the need arises.

What's the price of a 3/4 bedroom house up there?

Don't bother, Mark.
NOBODY wants to live in Macclesfield !
It rains more than in Stockport and the snow drifts have to be experienced to be believed.
It's a good department, though - and a fairly new hospital.

Come on Roy: you're only envious that we have relatively clean air to breathe around here rather than that Carbon Monoxide infested muck you have in the great metropolis of Stockport!

Macclesfield, gateway to the Peak District..........marvellous!

Does Trevor McB. work in your neck of the woods?
If so please say "Hi".

Yes, Trevor still works here & I'll pass on your regards Huw.

So how much is a 3 bed semi??

I smell a wind-up here.....

Tell him about Prestbury, Rob. That's a nice place to live, and the houses are SO cheap.

Yeah Prestbury: nice place if you're a football player & can afford to live there! (I can't) I believe there are quite a number of cheapo slum dwellings for sale around the Stockport area Roy?

I imagine though that anyone with property to sell in the South East & wishing to move up north would make a tidy profit if they were to buy another house somewhere in or around the Macclesfield area.
