Form of work
SalaryThe Personal Dosimetry Service (PDS), approved by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), supports over 5,500 employers in the industrial, research, and medical sectors. Our mission is to assess radiation doses for employees using passive personal dosemeters. These dosemeters are worn by employees and then returned to the PDS for processing and reporting.
Our work not only benefits employers but also contributes to the UK Health Security Agency's (UKHSA) advisory services. Additionally, it significantly impacts the Radiation Control and Environmental Health Department's (RCEHD) annual income. The PDS team, consisting of approximately 25 staff members, issues dosemeters to over 80,000 workers across the UK and overseas.
As part of a small and dedicated team, we handle the reception of used radiation dosemeters, dispatch fresh dosemeters (averaging 8,750 per week), manage customer inquiries, and ensure accurate packing of orders. Our commitment to excellent customer care remains unwavering for our 5,000+ valued customers.
