Peterborough, United Kingdom North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Our Hospital, part of the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, is based near Peterborough City Centre. The area offers affordable living.

Considering joining our team? Our modern, purpose-built City Hospital first opened in 2010, with our UKAS accredited Microbiology department staffed by a friendly, busy and professional team of highly motivated BMS, and ATO support workers, dealing with around half a million samples per year.

The department operates a 24/7 working pattern, in which you will be required to participate.

This Assistant Technical Officer (ATO) post offers an exciting opportunity to work in a UKAS accredited Microbiology laboratory.

Our teams work hard to be flexible and promote a health work/home life balance and so agile working options are automatically considered for all roles within the Trust. Talk to the Recruiting Manager about what this means in practice for you.

Your package with us includes a lot more than just your pay and here are a few of the additional benefits that are available to you as an employee:
