Applications are invited for a Senior Assistant technical Officer, within a friendly, busy and supportive team based in the Scientific Research and Innovation department at King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London, operating between the hours of 09:00 to 17:30, Monday to Friday.

The Scientific Research and Innovation department runs a clinical cytokine service that is accredited to ISO15189, and provide pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical services for our Biomarker research studies.

Senior Assistant Technical Officers are Clinical Support Workers who work as part of a team within the laboratory setting.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone to work within our scientific team and busy clinical research laboratory supporting our NHS, clinical, academic and commercial sponsors. The varied workload makes for an interesting environment and a natural professional development platform, with experience in clinical testing, specialised study specific sample processing, automated biomarker analysis and the opportunity to assist with quality, and health and safety initiatives.

The post holder will offer a helpful and professional service to Biomedical and clinical co-workers, fellow healthcare professionals, trial coordinators, other healthcare workers, visitors, patients and telephone callers and will contribute towards the department providing a high quality service.
