You don’t need a Biomedical Science degree to work as a Medical Laboratory Assistant, all you need is a good eye for detail, great communication, and good organisation skills.
If you’ve ever wondered where your medical results come from, how it’s done and the impact this has, now’s your chance to find out and support the efforts of the professionals working in this environment.
About the Role
Here at the Synnovis Blood Sciences Laboratories at Kings College Hospital you’ll be supporting the work of Biomedical Scientists and other clinical colleagues, who undertake various tests and investigations to support the healthcare of patients.
These particular posts would suit anyone with an interest in science and medicine but not necessarily with a degree. They are not Trainee Biomedical Scientist positions, please look out for our Trainee posts when available. There are other developmental opportunities for staff who do not wish to pursue academia. This type of role offers you a steady and secure career which could lead to supervisor or manager level positions down the line and will certainly get you out of the office! You will be working in a fast-paced laboratory environment, which for you, makes for varied, interesting, and sometimes challenging work; no 2 days are ever the same.
