The Microbiology Laboratory Manager plays a key senior leadership role in the delivery of safe, effective and high-quality diagnostic services within the Microbiology Laboratory. Reporting to the Directorate Manager, the postholder works in close partnership with the Service Clinical Lead and the Directorate Professional Lead as part of a clinically led leadership team. The role is accountable for the day-to-day operational management, performance, workforce, quality and financial delivery of Microbiology services, ensuring alignment with Trust priorities, regulatory requirements and agreed Directorate plans. The postholder will lead a complex service spanning Microbiology disciplines (including, as applicable, bacteriology, serology, mycology, molecular and virology), providing visible and credible leadership to staff and ensuring robust operational delivery. A key element of the role is the effective interface with Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) and the wider Trust, supporting safe, timely infection-related decision-making and maintaining strong governance and reporting arrangements. The role also includes leadership of service improvement and change, ensuring performance is monitored, risks are managed and escalated appropriately, and that quality, safety and accreditation requirements are embedded in everyday practice. In the context of emerging Peninsula Pathology Network arrangements, the postholder will be expected to work collaboratively across organisational boundaries and contribute to the development of future service and leadership models as these are agreed. ***Preference will be given to internal Trust staff, as well as Priority and 'At Risk' status including NHS At Risk staff throughout Devon who are able to display recent relevant experience as dictated by the Person Specification.***
