Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has re-designed its Pathology services with new state-of-the-art equipment and a new laboratory, with a new Lab Info Management System being installed later this year. An opportunity for a Specialist Biomedical Scientist within the field of Haematology and Blood Transfusion is now available.
The post holder will be highly skilled in the use of the latest techniques and complex instrumentation alongside more traditional manual methods of investigation. The individual will be expected to apply professional judgement and utilise specialist skills and knowledge to provide a timely result service to the clinician. The individual will be committed to maintaining their specialist skills and knowledge through appropriate training and self-education.
The post holder will support the development and training of registered BMS and associate practitioner colleagues and play an active role in maintaining high standards of quality management, as well as taking a lead role in a specific responsibility commensurate with a band 6 role.
Main duties of the job
We provide a 24/7 diagnostic service with full-time hours covering day and evening shifts.
If you have the qualifications and experience (minimum IBMS specialist portfolio or IBMS accredited MSc) and wish to develop your knowledge and skills in haematology and blood science, we are waiting to hear from you.
Working for our organisation
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of all we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to foster a culture that places people at the centre of all we do, where everyone belongs, and where learning, improvement, and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare abdominal cancer) and are leaders in tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer treatment.
The trust employs over 9,000 staff and has a turnover of more than £500 million annually. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors, who represent their constituencies and influence the Trust’s future plans.
