Certified Sterile Medical Device Technician

• No night shifts: you work day and evening shifts, with the evening shift ending no later than 8:00 PM.
• Great variety in your profession: from complex instrumentation from various specialties to the cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes.
• Keep developing yourself: deepen your professional knowledge, grow into roles such as senior staff member or instrument management, or contribute as a coach to our learning-work unit.
• Work in a department that innovates: automation, robotics, and AI applications are increasingly finding a place in our logistics and sterilization processes. For example, we work with a packaging robot.
• A diverse group of colleagues: different ages, backgrounds, cultures, genders, and orientations come together in a team that also makes room for socializing and caring for one another.

As a Sterile Medical Device Technician (MSMH), you ensure that doctors and nurses can work safely every day with cleaned, disinfected, and sterile medical devices. In doing so, you play an important role in preventing infections and contribute directly to safe patient care.

At the Central Sterilization Department (CSA), you work with a wide and sometimes complex range of instrumentation. Due to the various specialties within St. Antonius, you will encounter diverse medical devices and work processes. This makes your work varied and requires accuracy and professional knowledge every single day.

Additionally, the scope cleaning service is part of the CSA. Here, endoscopes are cleaned and disinfected for, among others, ENT, Urology, and Gastrointestinal and Liver diseases. This also provides extra variety in your work. It is highly appreciated if you think along about improvements in work processes and new techniques within the department.

Innovation is increasingly being given more space. Within the CSA, active investments are being made in automation, robotics, and AI applications within logistics and sterilization processes. For instance, you will work with our packaging robot and will be given the space to think along about how new technology can support the work more intelligently and effectively.

We also pay attention to healthy ways of working. On physically heavier workstations, colleagues work half shifts. This allows us to distribute the workload throughout the day and support sustainable employability.

You will work at multiple locations in Nieuwegein, Utrecht, and Woerden. Shifts fall between 07:00 and 20:00. On weekends, you will occasionally have an on-call shift. There are no night shifts within this position.

You will join the Central Sterilization Department (CSA), part of the OR/IC Center of St. Antonius. The two CSA locations each have their own character due to the distribution of specialties. Together with the scope cleaning service, this ensures a broad and varied field of work.

You will work together with approximately 70 colleagues. The team is diverse in age, background, culture, gender, and orientation. This diversity is also reflected in the atmosphere of the department, with attention to collaboration as well as shared, including cultural, moments.

Our learning-work unit is special, distinguishing us from many other CSAs. Students receive an intensively guided learning trajectory here. As a certified technician, you can develop into a learning-work unit coach. On the days you are scheduled for this, you give lessons and coach and guide students in practice.

There is also plenty of room for your own development. Think of professional training, in-service and continuing education, and personal development. Depending on your interests, you can, for example, grow into a senior staff member, specialize in instrument management, or further develop towards a role as a team leader.

Fresh fruit is available for free on the department several times a week.
