You will be working under supervision and according to Standard Operative Procedures performing an extended range of technical support duties within the laboratory; predominantly supporting Biomedical Scientist staff within the team to facilitate optimal patient care.

Due to the demands of the service, a flexible approach to working hours is expected, although this will be restricted to 37.5 hours per week.

We are extremely proud of our employees across our hospital sites, with high quality patient care at the heart of everything we do.
