Full job description

The Microbiology Department at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital has a vacancy for a Medical Laboratory Assistant to work in all sections of the laboratory.

The successful candidate must have qualifications equivalent to Maths, English and Science at GCSE, and must be able to demonstrate a good degree of numeracy and attention-to-detail at interview.

The work involves clinical sample processing coupled with some computer data-entry. Full work-based training will be given.

The successful candidate will be reliable, enthusiastic, motivated and forward thinking. They will demonstrate good interpersonal skills and must be a team player. Candidates should ideally have experience of working in an NHS clinical laboratory.

Medical Laboratory Assistants support the registered Biomedical Scientists who perform tests on urine, swabs, faeces, sputa and other body fluids and tissues to aid the diagnosis and treatment of infectious disease. The work is varied and involves general clinical sample processing, together with some computer data-entry. We are looking for someone with good keyboard skills and an interest in laboratory work.

As well as generous annual leave allowance, access to the excellent NHS pension scheme, competitive bank rates, discounts at local shops and restaurants, access to two on-site nurseries, discounted public transport, reward and recognition and a range of health and wellbeing initiatives to support you.
