Position Overview & Specifications
We are looking for conscientious and accurate people to perform, under the supervision of Biomedical Scientists (BMS), the receipt and pre-analytical processing of samples for microbiological investigations.
Although training will be given, keyboard skills are essential and demonstrable scientific interest would be an advantage. The posts will involve the use of laboratory IT systems to register the samples and also the some processing of samples using automated analysers and manual techniques.
The post will involve shift work (evening and weekends) and participation in the Bank Holiday rota. This attracts additional pay and compensatory rest.
ONE DORSET PATHOLOGY – delivering 21st century Pathology services
The One Dorset Pathology service will bring together Dorset County Hospital, Poole Hospital and The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals to deliver a single, efficient and high-quality pathology service. It will provide clinicians, patients and carers with a consistent and high standard of service across the area and maximise efficiency in the use of resources. The new service is a formal collaboration and is included in one of the 29 national pathology networks known as the ‘South 6’ network that includes: Hampshire Hospitals, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Salisbury and Southampton.
A new £25 million state of the art building is being built on the Wessex field site at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and is scheduled to open in 2023. A new pathology computer system linking all the pathology laboratories in the county is now up and running and we have recently completed a major tender across the S6 Network to replace all of the analytical platforms.
Microsoft Teams and phone interviews will not be available for this position.
Base Location: Poole Hospital
Interview Date: To be confirmed
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued team mates and colleagues.
