We are looking to recruit a Technical Manager to join our committed and enthusiastic team of anatomists and technical staff in our goal to provide the highest quality student experience.

The University of Southampton is a global centre for excellence in education and research and a founding member of the Russell Group. The Centre for Learning Anatomical Sciences (CLAS) is part of the larger Medical Education group within the Faculty of Medicine.

Members of academic staff also have curriculum management and development roles in the Faculty and wider University.

In your role, you will lead and manage the Anatomical Sciences Laboratory which partly delivers this vision.

You will also head the bequeathal programme always ensuring that all actions and decisions are in line with the Human Tissue Act (HTA) 2004. You will work closely with the Designated Individual of the HTA and will be directly responsible to the Director, Centre for Learning Anatomical Sciences. You will in turn be responsible for 3 other technical staff. You will also lead and manage our continuously growing external and internal enterprise activities within the Centre.

We are seeking to appoint an Anatomy or Science graduate or someone with equivalent professional qualifications and experience in a related area. The successful candidate will have had experience working within a human anatomy morbid facility at a senior level as well as being involved in line management of more junior staff.
