We are looking for someone to join our busy Pathology Specimen Reception team at the Eastbourne District General Hospital. The team are responsible for booking all pathology samples onto the laboratory computer system and ensuring correct protocols are followed for the handling and movement of those samples. Accuracy of work is very important.
This is a permanent post 20 hours / week.
The role will involve some specimen preparation ready for analysing.
Familiarity with clinical terminology is advantageous but not essential as training will be given.
This IS NOT a 'receptionist' post. Specimen Reception is responsible for the receipt, logging and onward distribution of thousands of clinical specimens every day. This is a data inputting role that requires accuracy and an ability to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs). Attention to detail is key.
Specimen Reception Pathology Assistants support the work of the
laboratory and Biomedical Scientists (BMS) by carrying out
non-interpretative laboratory procedures. A significant part of this role is data entry using the laboratory computer system, correctly identify patient’s details and handling of samples of a potentially hazardous nature.
Typical duties are unpacking, sorting and booking in samples,
packing specimens to send away to referral laboratories, preparing
specimens for testing, performing simple analytical procedures and
some more general tasks of this nature.
We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work
We provide safe, compassionate and high quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by 7000 + members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites and in people’s own homes.
In 2020 the Care Quality Commission rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’. Eastbourne DGH rated ‘Good’.
In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.
