A Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA) is an integral part of a pathology laboratory team. An MLA supports Biomedical Scientists in delivering a first class diagnostic service to medical professionals.

The MLA role is both challenging and rewarding. It is centred around ensuring patients receive the very best level of care in the analysis of their samples and the results that are produced. These results inform medical professionals on important decisions that they make regarding patient care.

Staff will be required to undertake extensive ‘in-house’ training using training modules and competency assessments to achieve a level of knowledge equivalent to NVQ level II qualification.

The role is very hands on and will require the successful applicant to work with a variety of specimen types and pieces of equipment to deliver analytical results. There is also a responsibility for general laboratory duties, such as cleaning, stock management and maintenance of equipment.
