The network provides services across the health sector to a population of nearly 2 million.

The network vision is based around:

and carries out a wide range of investigations including various specialist cancer cases. There is a Histology workload of around 70,000 cases per year.

The department moved to a custom built new facility in May 2011. and is computerised and well equipped. Career development and staff training are actively encouraged.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified and experienced individuals for the post of Histology Healthcare support worker.

You will receive samples into the laboratory and register them on a data-base so the post would suit an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual with good interpersonal, communication, and organisational skills together with the ability to work as part of a laboratory team.

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital Trust in the county of Kent.


The Trust provides a full range of general hospital services and some areas of specialist complex care to around 500,000 people living in the south part of West Kent and the north part of East Sussex.

We work from two main clinical sites:
Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury.

We are committed to ensuring that women are empowered to work at all levels of management and that working patterns are as flexible as possible giving all members of staff opportunity to flourish in using their skills for our patients.

We work across our trust to enable those who consider themselves to have a disability both visible and invisible to have access to all they need to thrive in their work environment.
