Job Title
We are seeking a highly motivated Clinical Scientist with experience in cancer cytogenetics and/or molecular genetics to join the South East Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (SE-HMDS), part of the South East NHS Genomic Laboratory Hub.
About the Role
The successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of high-quality genomic analyses for patients with haematological malignancies, supporting timely diagnosis and treatment decisions. Experience in cancer genomics and excellent communication skills are essential, while previous haemato-oncology cytogenetics experience is highly desirable. HCPC-registered Clinical Scientists will be appointed at Band 7 equivalence; however, applications are also welcomed from candidates with relevant haemato-oncology genomics experience who are approaching Clinical Scientist registration within six months, or who are HCPC-registered Biomedical Scientists, who may be appointed at Band 6 equivalence depending on experience and qualifications.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly expanding genomics network at the forefront of personalised medicine and diagnostic innovation.
