They are expected to maintain practical competence in their area of work which will involve the processing of a wide range of pathological specimens for a broad range of genomic tests according to standard operating procedures. Senior Technologists participate in the teaching and training load of the department, in line with the limits of their experience. They will be competent in the use of patient databases, state of the art technologies and a variety of software packages, some of which are complex, for the analysis of data. They perform highly accurate and skilled analysis, with often unpredictable outcomes and requiring periods of concentration.

They are expected to communicate complex technical, scientific and confidential information to colleagues within their department in electronic, written and verbal forms and contribute to the quality management system by participating in SOP review, audit and other appropriate tasks. They are also required to attend and participate in appropriate training seminars, and regular section and departmental meetings.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
