An Opportunity for a Full-Time HCPC Registered Biomedical Scientist with Demonstrable Histology Experience

An opportunity has arisen for a full-time HCPC Registered Biomedical Scientist with demonstrable Histology experience to join our dedicated and busy team in Leicester. Candidates are required to hold the IBMS Specialist Portfolio in Histopathology; a successful candidate without this portfolio would be required to study for and attain this qualification.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in all areas of the laboratory including the primary diagnostic section comprising specimen reception, dissection and section production (embedding, microtomy & quality control) as well as our specialist section which includes immunohistochemistry (automated), electron microscopy and enzyme histochemistry.

You will be a well motivated, proactive team member who is able to prioritise and work on your own initiative with minimal supervision. You must be able to demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills, a flexible approach to work in line with the Trusts agenda for service reconfiguration and improved patient care and be capable of working accurately and efficiently under pressure.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
