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:

A vacancy has arisen for a Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA) in our Microbiology Department based at Princess Alexandra Harlow Hospital. As part of the commissioning of the Hertfordshire and West Essex (HWE) Pathology service HSL will establish a new hub laboratory based at 7 Croxley Park, Watford. This newly developed hub laboratory will provide pathology testing across a range of disciplines including Sample Reception, Biochemistry, Haematology, Routine Coagulation and Microbiology. It is an expectation that Microbiology staff based within the PAH hospital site will transfer across to either the new hub at Croxley Park when this becomes operational in 2026 or the Halo hub lab located in Kings Cross, London.

The role will involve performing routine preparation and tests, including basic analytical processes, accurately and efficiently under the supervision of a qualified BMS staff, bringing any unusual test requests or results to the attention of the appropriate member of staff. The successful candidate will also be required to enter patient requests into the pathology computer system (WinPath and Helix) and carry out clerical and technical tasks in accordance with sample handling procedures. Staff will be required to assist in handling and distribution of incoming and outgoing goods, equipment, specimens and reagents as well as managing the laboratory users’ Helpdesk.

The laboratory operates a 24/7 service so the successful candidate will be expected to participate in shifts to cover this timeframe and to manage all on-site testing of acutely unwell patients for COVID.

At HSL 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 – 29 days.

Flexible working hours – we support and offer flexibility around shift patterns and working schedule

Please read the job description and person specification carefully and ensure that your application reflects the knowledge, skills and experience required.

We respect and value the diversity of our staff and welcome applications from diverse communities.
