One exciting post has arisen for a well‑motivated and enthusiastic HCPC‑registered Biomedical Scientist to join our team in Laboratory Medicine at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust.

HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist (band 5 or 6 depending on meeting person specification and experience). As a Band 6 you will have an IBMS Specialist Diploma in Clinical Biochemistry.

The laboratory is an IBMS registered training laboratory with a strong training ethos. As a Biomedical Scientist you will undertake day‑to‑day analysis and validation of results, together with monitoring of quality indicators. You will participate in out‑of‑hours shifts once trained and competent in the relevant areas. The Biochemistry laboratory has a managed service contract with Roche and runs two Roche Cobas 8000 lines with associated preanalytical modules.

It also has a Specialist Protein Section using Sebia and Binding Site systems.

Good communication skills, teamwork and an aptitude for problem‑solving are essential, as is a flexible attitude to work and willingness to adapt to changes in working practice. The ideal candidate will be keen to develop their knowledge and skills.

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust (SFT) is an innovative hospital with a proud heritage and over 250 years of experience. We are driven to deliver an outstanding experience for everyone and have been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment we continue to provide for our patients and staff.

We are an acute Trust, rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, with a track record of high performance providing regional and super‑regional specialist services such as Burns, Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery, Wessex Regional Genetics Laboratory, Wessex Rehabilitation, Spires Cleft Centre and the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre. We have about 470 beds and employ over 4,000 staff.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. You can access a range of NHS discounts, receive a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme. On‑site benefits include car parking (fee applies), leisure centre, day nursery and holiday play scheme.

Salisbury is an attractive place to live and work and really gives you the best of everything. With easy access to London and local airports, the city of Southampton is only a short train or car journey away or, if you prefer the sea, Bournemouth is also accessible.
