3 months ago
An exciting opportunity for a Senior Assistant Technical Officer in Histology has now arisen in the UKAS accredited Advanced Diagnostics Laboratory based within Tissue Sciences at King’s College Hospital.
Applications are invited from graduates who possess basic laboratory knowledge. Histology or molecular pathology experience is desirable but not essential.
This post will be permanently based in the Advanced Diagnostics Section of the Tissue Sciences laboratory.
This is a fantastic and exciting opportunity for a self-motivated individual to work as part of a dedicated and friendly team.
The post is for a Senior Assistant Technical Officer to assist in the administration and processing of samples of the Cellular Pathology Genomic Centre (CPGC).
The CPGC is responsible for the preparation of formalin-fixed paraffin-was embedded (FFPE) tissue and/or frozen samples for submission to the South East Genomic Laboratory Hub.
Under the direction of a Senior BMS, the Senior Assistant Technical Officer will carry out laboratory support tasks, in compliance with standard operating procedures and assist with specialised techniques including genomic sample preparation, immunocytochemistry and DNA quality control assessments.
The Department of Histopathology at King’s College Hospital currently processes over 27,000 surgical specimens per year, offering an impressive range of diagnostic techniques including routine histopathological methods, immunocytochemistry, molecular pathology and a Mohs Micrographic Surgery service.
The service is delivered by a dynamic team of 35 Biomedical Scientists and support staff spread across the Core Laboratory, Advanced Diagnostics section and the office. We hold IBMS training laboratory approval and participate in multiple external quality assurance schemes and demonstrate a strong commitment to continual quality improvement.
At Synnovis, we are currently shaping the future of pathology services by creating a world-leading Hub and Spoke pathology network with our NHS partners. A large part of this modernisation will involve moving 70% of our services to a purpose built, state of the art Hub laboratory in the heart of London.
