Ashford, United Kingdom East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for applicants to work as an Assistant Healthcare Scientist within the Haematology and Blood Transfusion department at William Harvey Hospital.

We currently hold UKAS Accreditation, an HTA Licence and are an IBMS training laboratory.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Pathology team at the Trust and to help shape future strategy and services for our local population.

The laboratory is open 24/7/365 with core hours covering 8am to 8pm. We are looking for applicants to cover a range of shifts including occasional weekend and bank holidays but are open to flexible working options within the core hours (no night working). The post is advertised as fulltime but we would consider multiple part-time applicants to fulfil the same quota of hours.

The role is based within Haematology and Blood Transfusion to support Biomedical Scientists in the preparation and examination of biological samples; you could be asked to support other areas of Blood Sciences including sample reception after appropriate training as the needs of the service demand.

Duties include data entry, specimen reception, reagent preparation, general maintenance and stock control.

The organisation is currently launching its new improvement focus in the form of an improvement system called We Care. The We Care System is a fundamentally new model that the organisation will be shifting to, it champions empowerment, promotes innovation and will bolster the connection and collaboration of staff throughout the organisation.

The We Care System utilises a multi-layered approach to improvement allowing staff to develop and produce a variety of ideas to combat the issues and problems that have been identified. The system allows for the deployment of:

- Strategic Initiatives which are long term projects and focus led and driven by our executive
- Trust Priority Improvement Projects which are short term projects allocated to a range of project teams made up from our staff groups focusing on impacting our True North metrics and breakthrough objectives
- Ward Based OMS which delivers daily management and continuous improvement on the frontline
