As we promote exceptional patient care to our deceased and their families, we are looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Anatomical Pathology Technician to join our Mortuary Team based at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage.
You will be working alongside the Bereavement Team to ensure the service meets HTA Codes of Practice, provides a service which observes patient dignity and supports other stakeholders to carry out their roles and responsibilities.

- Preserve, store and arrange transport for specimens required for histological, toxicology and biological examination.
