Join the East and SouthEast Pathology Partnership — Exciting Career Opportunities in Cellular Pathology!
The East and SouthEast Pathology Partnership (ESP) is thrilled to announce significant new investment in our Cellular Pathology department, enabling us to expand and enhance our services to meet growing demand. As a result, we are recruiting for many people across a variety of roles within this dynamic and vital area of pathology.
If you are passionate about advancing healthcare through cutting-edge diagnostic science, and eager to work in a collaborative, innovative environment, ESP offers you a fantastic career opportunity.
The Advanced Diagnostics laboratory incorporates Immunohistochemistry (IHC), in-situ hybridisation (ISH), direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and neuromuscular techniques. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual to join our expanding friendly and professional team. The role will involve supporting this expanding service as well as being part of the Cellular Pathology Genomics Centre and Cancer Vaccine Launchpad work.
The role involves working within a histology laboratory, contributing to diagnostic and research activities with a focus on IHC, immunofluorescence, and neuromuscular techniques. You will maintain high standards of laboratory practice, using LIMS (e.g., WinPath) for data management, and supporting clinical trials like CVLP. Key duties include IHC techniques, following SOPs, and ensuring accuracy under deadlines. The role requires good organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work under pressure. The ideal candidate will be adaptable, motivated, and skilled in laboratory techniques, with an openness to new technologies in pathology.
