East Suffolk & North Essex NHS Foundation Trust - Specialist Biomedical Scientist (Haematology & Blood Transfusion)
We have an exciting opportunity for a Specialist Biomedical Scientist to join us in Haematology & Blood Transfusion at Ipswich Hospital. You will join a friendly and busy MHRA and UKAS compliant hospital laboratory that is committed to training and development of our staff. We are an IBMS accredited training laboratory for registration and specialist portfolios.
You must have completed your haematology specialist portfolio. Once competent, experienced staff will participate in an out-of-hours roster, which attracts a night rate enhancement for lone working.
We are equipped with Grifols, Sysmex XNs and ACL TOPS analysers. Our LIMS is Lab Centre. Previous working knowledge of these technologies would be an advantage.
Our vision is to deliver innovations and high-performing pathology services that are focussed on our customers, delivering high quality and fully compliant services.
We are clinically led and designed to achieve the benefits of scale by working together to meet our service users' needs and support the excellent clinical care provided by our hospitals.
We are committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best pathology staff. We encourage our staff to undertake internal and external courses to aid their development. You will play an integral part in helping to train our junior staff to develop their skills and careers.
