Description
Are you a dynamic and innovative Biomedical Scientist ready to take the lead in Point of Care Testing?

We're on the lookout for a passionate individual to join our professional and friendly department as a Band 7 Biomedical Scientist, serving as our Point of Care Technical Lead.

The POCT department offers a comprehensive POCT service (including biochemistry, haematology, microbiology and molecular disciplines) to Northern Care Alliance and WWL hospitals, as well as providing some community services. The POCT department provides support for analytical testing at or near the site of patient care.

You will be based primarily at Salford initially, as we continue to develop our POCT service in an area that offers affordable, vibrant city night life and stunning locations. You will be expected to visit all sites regularly and we are able to offer the flexibility of some home working.

POCT service is an ever changing landscape and requires dynamic technical lead.

You will coordinate and lead the Point of Care Testing (POCT) service at Salford and WWL sites.

You will be the lead for technical verification / validation, implementation, maintenance and troubleshooting of POCT devices, while being responsible for delivery of training and maintaining competency of the device users.

You will assist the POCT manager in the implementation of the Trust wide POCT Policy.

The Diagnostics and Pharmacy Group is part of the Northern Care Alliance (NCA), one of the largest NHS organisations in the country. A place of science, innovation and transformational thinking, the Diagnostic and Pharmacy Group unites Radiology, Pathology and Pharmacy services across the NCA to create a cooperative group committed to delivering safe, consistent, and high-quality care.
