The ideal candidate will possess multidisciplinary expertise in Blood Sciences. However, individuals with specialised backgrounds in Haematology and Blood Transfusion are particularly encouraged to apply.

• Assist in realigning service provisions, working closely with Consultant Pathologists, Departmental Management teams, and the Blood Sciences Manager.
• Conduct test procedures, often of a complex nature, ensuring accurate recording and reporting of results.
• Engage fully in a multi-skilled 24/7 Blood Sciences rota after completing appropriate training and competency assessments.
• Act as a deputy for a Senior BMS when required, assuming responsibility for an additional role within the laboratory, such as supporting training, maintaining quality standards, ensuring health and safety compliance, or enhancing service provision.
