Clinical Scientist (Haemato-Oncology Genomics) (Band 7) - Genomic Diagnostics Laboratory - Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust – Manchester, City and Borough of Manchester
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Band 7 Clinical Scientist to join the North West Genomic Laboratory Hub (NW GLH) at Manchester Foundation Trust (MFT) and be part of one of the largest Acute Trusts in the UK, employing over 20,000 staff.
This is a permanent position based at the NW NHS Genomics Laboratory Hub (NW GLH) on the St Mary’s Hospital site in Manchester. The NW GLH is one of 7 GLHs recently created as part of a national reorganisation to provide a national genomic medicine service. It is a highly regarded, UKAS accredited, NHS clinical service provider of Genomics to a population of 7.2 million people in the North West of England as well as a wide range of national and international specialist referrals.
The molecular haemato-oncology team on the St Mary’s site provides a service in line with the National Genomics Test Directory for the diagnosis and management of haematological malignancies. We are embedded in the Genomic Diagnostic Laboratory and are part of the local Haematological Cancer Diagnostic Partnership (HCDP), facilitating specialist, integrated haemato-oncology diagnosis.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated state-registered Clinical Scientist to join our Molecular Haemato-Oncology team, working to deliver a modern, high-quality diagnostic service and cutting-edge translational development.
The successful candidate will have an excellent track record in service delivery and a clear vision of what is required to maintain and enhance the genomics laboratory service, including all aspects of quality and governance, efficiency and clinical utility. A flexible attitude is essential, as is the ability to work to tight deadlines to meet professional reporting time guidelines. The post-holder will work well in a team, have excellent communication skills, and have experience of service development and training. A background in haemato-oncology or cancer genomics would be an advantage; however, applicants with a background in genomics and an interest in haematological malignancy are also encouraged to apply.
If you are looking for a new challenge in a rewarding role and would like to join a dedicated, patient-focused team of health professionals, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
*We are happy to consider appointment of individuals who are not yet State Registered but are currently on a recognised programme of training that will lead to registration in the near future. We would also be happy to consider applications from those with a relevant background and experience wishing to pursue a band 6 pre-registration scientist training programme; however, preference would be given to registered, or close to registration, clinical scientists in genomic medicine/cancer genomics.
