Area of Work: Cellular Pathology (Histopathology)

Pay Band: 5

Working patterns: Full time

7.5 hours/day within the period 08.00 to 18.00

Current working days are Monday to Friday.

Our laboratory handles approximately 65,000 surgical cases a year. We are UKAS accredited and registered with the IBMS as a pre and post registration training laboratory. CPD is actively encouraged.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of working in all primary diagnostic sections of the laboratory i.e. specimen reception & dissection and section production (embedding, microtomy & quality control).

Experience in the specialist histological techniques that we offer in our department, which include immunohistochemistry (automated), electron microscopy and enzyme histochemistry, is desirable but not essential.

You will be a well-motivated, proactive team member with excellent written and verbal communication skills who is able to work accurately and efficiently in a busy laboratory environment.

You will have a good understanding of and commitment to Biomedical Science within the NHS and have a flexible approach to work in line with the Trusts agenda for service reconfiguration and improved patient care.

There will be a requirement to work on any of Leicester’s 3 hospital sites.

This application will close once sufficient applications have been received. This can happen quickly, therefore early application is advised.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
