Summary

The South West London Pathology Microbiology department at St George’s hospital is looking for enthusiastic people with an interest in biomedical science to join our team. The laboratory has state of the art equipment offering full laboratory automation and a vast array of molecular platforms.

Please make sure you have right to work in UK as we are unable to provide Visa Sponsorship for this role.

The post holder will assist the scientific laboratory staff. The duties include specimen preparation and basic procedures in different sections of the laboratory. A significant part of this role will be administrative (e.g. entering sample request details on the laboratory computer, filing) for which full training will be provided. You should have good attention to detail, be able to follow defined protocols, be flexible, highly motivated, with excellent communication skills and be a strong team player fully committed to patient care.

Progression to Biomedical Scientist cannot be guaranteed from this post, therefore the position would be ideally suited to candidates who are not looking to progress rapidly to a registered Biomedical Scientist role.

You will be expected to participate in a 24/7 shift system which includes weekend, night, late and bank holiday working as part of core hours.

South West London Pathology (SWLP) is an NHS partnership providing a highly dependable, clinically assured and cost effective diagnostic pathology service.
