An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Wessex Genomics Laboratory Service (WGLS - Salisbury) for two HCPC registered Clinical Scientists with experience in either Rare Disease or Cancer to join our dynamic team of genomic scientists in full-time and permanent positions. The WGLS is a new integrated genomics testing service formed from the amalgamation of Wessex Regional Genetics Laboratory, now WGLS (Salisbury), operating from Salisbury District Hospital, and Molecular pathology - now WGLS (Southampton), operating from University Hospital Southampton (UHS). The WGLS is a member of the Central & South Genomic Laboratory Hub. Employment will be with UHS but the roles will be based at WGLS (Salisbury) within Salisbury District Hospital. There are future plans to re-locate to a joint facility with WGLS (Southampton) in the Southampton area once a suitable site has been identified (with a minimum 1 year notice prior to relocation).
