Location: Tavistock House, Central London
Contract /Hours: Permanent, Full Time (40 hours per week)
Salary range: Salary Dependent on Experience
About us:
Sonic Healthcare is an internationally renowned healthcare provider with a demonstrable track record of medical services across the world. Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, Sonic is an ASX Top 50 company that has grown to become one of the world’s leading healthcare providers, specialising in pathology, radiology and primary care medical centres. We have operations in Australia, the USA, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand.
Sonic Healthcare UK encompasses the two main entities in the UK, The Doctors Laboratory (TDL) and Health Services Laboratories (HSL). HSL is a partnership between The Doctors Laboratory (TDL), Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). HSL was formed to provide pathology services to the NHS Trusts and has expanded further to provide services to other NHS Trusts. Over 3,500 staff work at Sonic Healthcare UK, primarily under the TDL or HSL banner.
Our purpose is to deliver medically-led diagnostics, innovation, value and long-term investment to healthcare. With our core laboratory based at The Halo Building in London WC1H 9AX, we also have an expanding site in Manchester as well as smaller hospital-based laboratories across the country. We maintain rigorously high standards of quality, whilst also delivering efficiencies to healthcare through careful workforce planning, pioneering technology and significant investment in infrastructure and IT.
About the role:
Synapse is the digital front door to TDL. From a single web application, a client can track a result through the lab, view their invoices, book a courier, send results to their patients, and book patients into clinics. A leading UK digital agency is building the first version now and will hand over a working product and a design system. From the handover this team owns Synapse and keeps shipping, building it out module by module. There is a real chance to shape how we build software, not only to maintain what exists.

How we work
This is a hybrid team, and largely a remote one. People come into the office for workshops and team meetings rather than daily, which in practice tends to mean a few days a month. Beyond that, people shape their own time. We trust the team to run their own diaries: when to be in, when a meeting is better held face to face, when we are working as a group, and when the work is done best from home. We are looking for people mature enough to make those calls well. We run in sprints and ship in small, quiet, modular releases rather than big-bang versions. The aim is continuous deployment and continuous iteration.
At TDL we offer a variety of excellent staff benefits including:
- Training and development opportunities – supporting professional development
- Annual salary review - salary and progression are aligned to our internal transparent pay structure (Progression Plus), supporting career development and structured annual salary reviews
- Discounted gym membership – we have a corporate gym membership scheme with Better Gyms
- Cash healthcare plan – cash back on a variety of healthcare costs including dentist and opticians
- Sick Pay Entitlement – one month’s full pay and one month’s half pay after probation
- Permanent Health Insurance and Death in Service Cover
- Life Assurance – providing salary continuation for long term illness (six months qualifying period)
- Employee Assistance Programme – supporting staff wellbeing
- Season Ticket Loan Scheme – interest free loan for the cost of annual travel ticket
- Perkbox – Access to additional staff perks and benefits such as high street discounts
- Company Pension Scheme – company and staff contributions which increase with service
- Competitive annual leave allowance – 24 days.
- Flexible working hours – we support and offer flexibility around shift patterns and working schedule
