Equipment officers work as part of the specials team within Hertfordshire Equipment Service.

Our Equipment Officers ensure that robust quality assurance and safety processes are adhered to in the provision, maintenance, refurbishment, and delivery of specialist items of equipment for children and adults with often complex needs.
