An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, experienced and friendly Biomedical Scientist to join the Cellular Pathology team at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital.
The successful applicant will be a suitably qualified and experienced HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist with post registration experience in Biomedical Science. You must possess a relevant professional qualification to degree level or equivalent, and hold a relevant MSc or equivalent.
As a Senior Specialist BMS, you will assist the Lead BMS and other senior grade staff in the management of the department’s sections. You will manage and deploy staff within a section(s) of work assigned to you. You will be familiar with the application of Trust policies, e.g. health and safety, HR (personnel), and ensure that these policies are adhered to by yourself and the staff in your section. You may be required to deputise for the Lead BMS for Cellular Pathology at RJAH in their absence and take direct responsibility for the department. You will provide cover for other Senior Specialists within your department.
The department is an approved IBMS/HCPC training laboratory and continuous professional development is actively encouraged.
As a Senior Specialist BMS, you are able to perform and understand the interpretation of a wide range of specialist laboratory tests, which are undertaken in the various sections of the Department. Routinely, you undertake the day-to-day management and supervision of a section(s) of work, or group of staff in the department.
You will perform a range of activities and provide highly specialist advice to clinicians and other service users. You will be responsible for delivering training to Specialist Diploma level within your area of expertise. You will lead a specialist section of the department and will ensure that all aspects of the technical performance of that area are of the highest standard. You will undertake equipment evaluation and activities which underpin the appropriate selection of methodologies and/or adaptation of procedures used in the department. You will drive service improvements and innovation within your specialist section of the department.
