A good starting point
https://www.ebme.co.uk/articles/management/261-being-an-ebme-manager-in-the-21st-century

Additionally....
Know your team, keep them focussed, motivated and happy?
Ticking all the relevant boxes
Prioritising the multitude of demands that are placed in front of you?
Minimising risk, whilst balancing the budgets
A sense of humour (a definite advantage).

Most importantly, perhaps?
Maintaining a healthy work-life balance?

Quite a good overall requirement for an EBME Manager, in terms of Salary and responsibility....

Normal EBME Manager Post salary starts at around £40K is it worth that for all the stress and responsibility?

Any thoughts?

It all depends what your department does. If it is a department in its own right and offers a full equipment management service and purchasing advice etc. as well as managing contracts and doing in house repairs on virtually all equipment including linacs, I would expect an M.Sc. as minimum.
If it is a few guys attached to an estates department mending just basic equipment an HNC would suffice.

My spelling is not bad. I am typing this on a Medigenic keyboard and I blame that for all my typos.

In my experience Linac's come under Medical Physics,(radiotherapy)

Not sure if EBME departments look after Linacs these days?

Where I used to work Clinical Engineering did look after the linacs, this makes my point about the different sizes and remits of departments.
