You will support clinical and community services by assisting with the installation, setup, servicing, and collection of respiratory equipment in hospital, clinic, and community settings. This includes providing technical input to support patient discharge and continuity of care, participating in community-based services such as home visits and remote set-up pathways, and communicating clearly with patients, families, and carers regarding the safe use and care of equipment.
