Job Opportunity at Royal Surrey County Hospital
We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated individual with laboratory experience to join the Blood Sciences Clinical Laboratory at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, part of Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services, one of the UK's largest pathology networks.
About the Role
The successful candidate will have specialist knowledge in Blood Sciences (Haematology, Blood Transfusion and/or Biochemistry), experience in laboratory operations, and strong leadership and communication skills to support and manage junior staff. You will also help maintain UKAS ISO 15189:2022 and MHRA accreditation through active participation in the laboratory's quality management system.
As the laboratory moves towards full multidisciplinary working, you will receive training across Haematology, Coagulation, Blood Transfusion and Biochemistry, and will be expected to work across all disciplines. The laboratory is equipped with Abbott Alinity H & CI, ACL TOP 550 and Immucor NEO Iris analysers. Experience with these systems is desirable but not essential. The laboratory is ISO 15189:2022 and MHRA accredited and holds IBMS training status.
