The post involves analysing and supporting the analysis of a variety of samples in support of, and under the direction of the Senior Coroners in Kent to help establish cause of death in appropriate cases.

An appropriate, sensitive and mature attitude to this type of work is essential.

The successful applicant will study for a BSc in Chemistry via a university degree course mapped to the relevant apprenticeship standard. The course is based on day release and lasts five years. Commitment to this length of study is vital. Whilst we fully support the academic part of this role, some study in your own time will be expected.

This role is an amazing opportunity for the right applicant to gain a degree whilst using science in work which directly impacts on people’s lives.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position.

The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
