Crynodeb

We are looking for a passionate and motivated individual to join our Clinical Biochemistry Department at University Hospitals Dorset. We are seeking someone either with HCPC registration as a Clinical Scientist or close to obtaining registration.

It is an exciting time to join the University Hospitals Dorset as there are several new developments including the recent opening of a new state-of-the-art clinical laboratory - the One Dorset Pathology (ODP) hub and future alignment with laboratories within the Southern Counties Pathology Network.

You will be joining a One Dorset Pathology (ODP) Clinical Biochemistry team comprising of one medical consultant, two consultant clinical scientists and two principal clinical scientists.

Base Location: Royal Bournemouth Hospital and Poole Hospital - cross site working required

Interview date: 10th February 2026

This full-time role includes participation in the Duty Biochemist rota and protein electrophoresis reporting rota. As Senior Clinical Scientist you will work with the Consultant and Principal Clinical Scientists in supporting and further developing a quality Clinical Biochemistry Service. We offer flexible working in line with service needs.

Our expanding service means you will be taking part in service development, clinical audits, and quality management. Opportunities to develop a specialist interest (e.g. point of care (POC), special proteins) will be encouraged in line with service requirements as well as attendance at ward rounds and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings.

There is also potential to undertake research and development projects along with full support in working towards fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath).

UHD are investing, developing and transforming Trust services in line with the New Hospital Programme. As part of this, some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or permanently. Recruiting Managers will be happy to answer any service-specific questions at interview.


If a role or service relocates as part of a planned move, excess mileage will not be reimbursed. Travel from home to the new work base will be classed as a normal commute. Any other changes will be managed under Trust or national terms and conditions.


UHD has active networks including Women’s, DEN, Pride, EU, Pro Ability, and Armed Forces. We support Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant interview schemes.


AI tools may be used, but applications must honestly reflect your own skills and experience. Integrity is key to our recruitment process


To understand the role in more detail please read the full job description and person specification documents which are attached to this advert.

Please note that trainees nearing completion of the Scientist Training Programme (STP) will be appointed at band 6 and then transitioned to band 7 upon completion and registration with the HCPC.
