The department is active in training new Biomedical Scientists and holds IBMS Training Laboratory status for registration and specialist portfolio, histopathology dissection and supports further development opportunities for all staff.
Applicants for the laboratory Manager post will need to have HCPC registration, an FIBMS or MSc plus at least 5 years' experience of working at a senior level in Cellular Pathology, as well as a management and leadership qualification.
You will be part of the Pathology leadership team including the Clinical Director, Pathology Services Manager and Blood Sciences Laboratory Manager and together you will create and deliver the strategic vision for Pathology.
