Band 7 Leicestershire Genetics Centre, Leicester Royal Infirmary University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust
About the Service
The Leicestershire Genetics Laboratory provides a high quality, patient centred diagnostic service as part of the East Genomic Laboratory Hub. Our team delivers a comprehensive range of genomic and cytogenetic investigations, with a strong and expanding focus on cancer testing using next generation sequencing (NGS). We also maintain a full constitutional cytogenetics service, ensuring that patients benefit from a complete genomic diagnostic pathway.
About the Role
We are looking for a motivated and committed Clinical Scientist to join our friendly and supportive laboratory team. This Band 7 role provides an excellent opportunity for HCPC registered scientists who are ready to take on a varied and rewarding post.
You will work across all areas of the laboratory, contributing to:
· NGS analysis for haematological malignancies and solid tumours
· Microarray analysis
· Chromosome analysis
· FISH
· Interpretation of genomic results and preparation of clear, accurate diagnostic reports
You will be supported to develop your scientific, analytical and interpretive skills, and you will play an active role in ongoing service improvement. If required, we will provide full training in analytical techniques where experience is limited.
What We Are Looking For
We welcome applications from individuals who:
· Hold HCPC registration as a Clinical Scientist in Genetics/Genomics
· Are enthusiastic about working flexibly across a wide range of genomic and cytogenetic techniques.
· Demonstrate strong attention to detail, good communication skills, and a commitment to high quality patient care
· Are keen to develop professionally within a busy diagnostic service
We particularly encourage applications from recently registered scientists who are ready to take the next step in their careers.
What We Offer
At UHL we are committed to supporting staff to reach their full potential. In this role you will benefit from:
· A structured programme of professional development and CPD
· Opportunities to gain experience across the full diagnostic repertoire of a modern genetics laboratory
· Close links with Clinical Genetics, Haematology, Oncology, and Cellular Pathology
· The laboratory will be moving into brand new laboratory space in 2028
· A positive and inclusive culture where compassionate teamworking and patient focused practice are valued
Interview Process
Candidates invited to interview will be asked to deliver a short presentation on a recent case study, project, or audit they have undertaken.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
