Carmarthen, United Kingdom Hywel Dda University Health Board Full time

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to fill a Band 4 Associate Practitioner vacancy within the Blood Sciences Department at Glangwili General Hospital, Carmarthen.

The post is permanent, full time (37.5 hours per week) initially working 9am - 5pm but there will probably be a requirement to work outside of routine core hours including some evenings and weekends/bank holidays in the future.

The post holder will be required to perform a range of routine and non-routine tasks, following Standard Operating Procedures and under indirect supervision, to provide technical support to Biomedical Scientists. The tasks will include pre-analytical sample preparation, operation and maintenance of laboratory equipment, use of laboratory information systems, processing samples, instrument calibration and quality control, and the potential for some further analytical and data processing work associated with departmental developments.

Full training and competency assessment will be given in all aspects of the role upon commencement.

We are searching for an individual with excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team. The ability to maintain concentration whilst performing tasks with speed, accuracy and reproducibility with frequent interruptions is also important. The post would provide a key role within the department to ensure compliance with UKAS standards ISO 15189, the 2005 Blood Safety Quality, and MHRA regulations.

Hywel Dda University Health Board is the planner and provider of NHS healthcare services for people in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and its bordering counties. Our 11,000 members of staff provide primary, community, in-hospital, mental health and learning disabilities services for around 384,000 people across a quarter of the landmass of Wales.

- Seven community hospitals: Amman Valley and Llandovery in Carmarthenshire; Tregaron, Aberaeron and Cardigan in Ceredigion; and Tenby and South Pembrokeshire Hospital Health and Social Care Resource Centre in Pembrokeshire;
- 48 general practices (four of which are managed practices), 47 dental practices (including three orthodontic), 99 community pharmacies, 44 general ophthalmic practices (43 providing Eye Health Examination Wales and 34 low vision services) and 17 domiciliary only providers and 11 health centres;
- Numerous locations providing mental health and learning disabilities services;
- Highly specialised and tertiary services commissioned by the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee, a joint committee representing seven health boards across Wales.

You will be able to find a full job description and person specification attached within the supporting documents.

The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post. If you do not meet the Welsh Language requirements specified, the Health Board offers a variety of learning options and staff support to help you meet these mínimal desirable requirements during the course of your employment with us.

Interviews will be held on 04/08/2023.
