- Leading data analysis from studies, maintaining comprehensive records of evaluations, and presenting findings at scientific conferences.
- Preparing reports for commercial clients and drafting papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
- Training and supervising new staff, visitors, and students, while ensuring a safe working environment for all personnel.
- Participating in Senior Management Team meetings and supporting the professional development of team members.
- Contributing to the maintenance of laboratory accreditation and quality management systems, while ensuring adherence to health and safety protocols.
Essential Qualifications

- Professional registration with the HCPC.
- A PhD in Microbiology or a related field.
- Experience in the STI domain.
- Demonstrated experience managing services accredited to ISO 15189 standards.
- A proven track record of research with significant publications in relevant areas.
