We're looking to appoint a Respiratory Physiologist on a permanent basis to provide a high quality, patient focused, efficient Respiratory service within the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist, with relevant post-registration experience in Cellular Pathology.

To meet increasing demands on the service, our Cellular Pathology department is undergoing a review of workforce as we move towards a 7 day service. Weekend working, on a rotational basis (at most 1 in 4), is a requirement of the role.  

Successful candidates may be required to deputise for Senior/ Lead Biomedical Scientists, taking the lead in the main laboratory sections; biopsy transfer/dissection, routine histopathology, immunohistochemistry and diagnostic cytopathology. In addition, we are about to integrate digital pathology into our existing workstreams.

Candidates should meet the full criteria of the Specialist BMS Band 6 Job Description and Person Specification. However, consideration will be given to an HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist who has not yet completed the Specialist Portfolio, in either Cellular Pathology or Diagnostic Cytology, but will be expected to complete the specialist portfolio within a specified timeframe if successful (Band 6 Annex 21 will apply). The Annex 21 percentage applied would be 75% or 70% of the top of the relevant band, dependant on the individual previous experience.

Further training in IBMS Expert roles, particularly Diagnostic Cytopathology or Histological dissection, will be supported once the successful candidate meets the requirements for enrolment.
