Main duties of the job
The Monogenics team is part of the wider Genetics department and it is the hub laboratory of the SE Genomics Lab Hub (SE GLH). The department performs a range of different genetics test as prescribed by the National Genomics Test Directory by NHS England.
You will work fully embedded within the Monogenics team to perform assignment of incoming test requests. These arrive with the samples as a paper referral form on which the clinician has recorded the test request details. These forms are scanned into the NHS Trust network in the Generics specimen reception, so this test assignment role can be performed remotely by accessing the scanned image of the form on a GSTT NHS trust computer. The test assignment is performed twice daily on rotation within the coordinator team.
Additional tasks include managing the Monogenics email inbox and replying or redirecting enquiries as indicated, as well as supporting the scientist team with other data inputting tasks.

The laboratory works collaboratively with other pathology disciplines and research groups such as GSTfT Biomedical Research Centre and Genomics Innovation Unit and the GSTfT Assisted Conception Unit for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis.
Your development and learning
You will have a suite of learning opportunities available through The Synnovis Way Development programme, the Scientific Learning and Development Fund and the Synnovis Academy through which you can receive funding / support for advanced qualifications.
Through our Innovation Accelerator Fund, you can apply for finance to get that new innovative scientific project off the ground, and participate with the wider scientific community through symposiums, conferences and other peer group meetings.
