About the Role
We are looking for a flexible, enthusiastic, and self-motivated individual to join the busy Microbiology Department based within the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. The post holder will have the opportunity to join a strong team working within a modern medical laboratory located on the outskirts of Dumfries. Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary is a state-of-the-art general hospital opened in December 2017.
