Summary
A Vacancy at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen due to service expansion for 1 Reproductive Technologist to join our laboratory team at Cambridge IVF. This state of the art NHS fertility centre offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic and clinical treatment services and encompasses the regional diagnostic andrology service for Cambridgeshire and the surrounding area, with capacity for up to 7000 semen analyses per annum.
This post will be divided between our Cambridge and Peterborough Laboratories.
Cambridge IVF is without doubt one of the most forward thinking units in the UK and with a commitment to high level research and development. Coupled with our links into existing local research groups, this is a very exciting time to be joining our team.
You should possess a First or Second Class Biological Sciences degree. A relevant postgraduate qualification and laboratory experience are highly desirable but full training will be provided to all successful candidates. You will have the opportunity to work across our Diagnostic Andrology Laboratories to a UKAS accredited standard in accordance with the requirements of ISO15189:2012 and in accordance with the HFEA Code of Practice for fertility centres.
The position will require some weekend, bank-holiday and out of hours work on a rotational basis.
A committed member of a dedicated team of laboratory scientists and technicians. Working to the highest standards of clinical excellence to contribute to a patient focused Fertility Service. You will be responsible for performing diagnostic laboratory procedures primarily in the diagnostic andrology laboratory.
Subject to appropriate competence, there may be scope for further training in Clinical Andrology, including the opportunity to apply for an In-Service Trainee (IST) post on the National Scientific Training Programme (STP) in Andrology.
You will be expected to deal with members of the public in a polite and compassionate manner and to work with precision, accuracy and transparency in everything they do.
This job requires you to spend the majority of your working week at the Peterborough site, working independently in some instances. Initial training will be provided at the Cambridge site. As the Peterborough site scales up you are likely to spend more time working in Peterborough and less time working in Cambridge. You will spend at least one day per week at the Cambridge laboratory to maintain good contact with the team and to participate in training in additional Andrology skills.
