Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Associate Practitioner within the Haematology and Blood Transfusion Department at Prince Charles Hospital.

Main Duties of the Job
Candidates will need to have a minimum Level 4 Science qualification (e.g., HNC/HND in a science area) together with experience of working within a laboratory environment.
