This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the world’s largest Virology departments. The Virology department forms part of The Manchester Medical Microbiology Partnership (MMMP), a collaboration between Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) and United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated Medical Laboratory Assistant. Previous experience would be desirable but is not essential. The post holder will work as part of the laboratory team, providing a high level of microbiological analysis to provide patients with the highest level of diagnosis and treatment.

The laboratory is accredited by UKAS (ISO15189 standard)

We actively encourage CPD activities.

The department requires staff to support the department in delivering a comprehensive Virology service over 7 days. Staff may be required to work a variety of shifts, including weekends, throughout the 24 hour period if appropriate to the post.

The Virology delivered from the Manchester Royal Infirmary site employs over 100 staff and has a workload of approximately 1.5 Million specimens per year or 6,500 specimens per day. The department embraces all aspects of a modern clinical virology service combining state of the art laboratory automation with some more traditional methods.

MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our over 28,000 workforce to pursue their career goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from an extraordinary scale of opportunity.

We’re also creating a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research & innovation through the introduction of Hive; our new Electronic Patient Record system, launching in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, offering a robust infrastructure to facilitate high-quality research programmes. Moreover, we’re excited to be progressing our MFT Green Plan along with our vison to become an Anchor Organisation, creating new jobs, promoting healthy lifestyles, developing skills and contributing to a zero-carbon environment for the benefit of the local neighbourhood.

At MFT, we create & foster a culture of inclusion & belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open & transparent, protecting your health & wellbeing & shaping MFT’s future together.

Diversity Matters

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
