StocktononTees, United Kingdom North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you a self-motivated, hardworking and enthusiastic individual looking to take your first step into a Healthcare Science Career? Why not earn, learn and make a difference with a Healthcare Science Apprenticeship with a NHS Pathology Service. Our apprenticeships offer routes into scientific careers within the Pathology Service, through a mix of on-the-job training and classroom learning.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a professional, motivated and innovative individual to join the Pathology Laboratory at North Tees and Hartlepool NHSfT working in Cellular Pathology as an apprentice Healthcare Science Support Worker.

This post is mainly based at the University Hospital of North Tees site, but cross site working may be required.

The department has full UKAS accreditation and IBMS training approval. CPD is actively encouraged.

The pathology departments at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundations Trust and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are working collaboratively to develop a single service to be delivered on all hospital sites.

Main duties of the job
- Work under supervision to provide high quality care within a clinical setting
- Perform sample reception duties including, receiving, and sorting, labelling, barcoding and data entry of patient details.
- Assist in specimen preparation of human tissue for histological examination and subsequent reporting.

What you need to know about Level 2 - Healthcare Science apprenticeships
- If you are aged 18+ in your first year of an apprenticeship, the minimum you should receive is £4.81 an hour (the National Minimum Wage for apprentices)
- Many NHS Pathology employers will pay you more than the minimum wage
- They take 16 months to complete
- Anyone over the age of 18 can do one
- You'll develop your skills, and gain a competence qualification (based on what you can do in the workplace together with a knowledge qualification)
- show that you are committed
- make sure you are aware of your responsibilities
- demonstrate that you are able to cope with work and study

The pathology departments at NTH and STH are working collaboratively to develop a joint service with services being delivered on both hospital sites. This will require cross site working as appropriate.

At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones.

We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.

We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition - a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.

We actively encourage staff involvement with staff networking events and staff survey

“Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”

Please see attached Job description and person specification for further information.

We are currently under going a collaboration process, therefore cross site working, at James Cook Hospital, will be expected, for all members of the team.
