NHS Jobs Ref: 269-SFT5913-A An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Wessex Regional Genetics Laboratory (WRGL) in Salisbury, to join our dynamic team of genomic scientists. The two permanent posts are for HCPC registered Clinical Scientists specialising in Genomics (or those preparing for registration). Following the 2018 NHS England designation of seven national Genomic Laboratory Hubs (GLHs), the WRGL is a key member of the Genomic Local Laboratory Network, working with the Central and South Genomic Laboratory Hub as part of a national world class Genomics Laboratory Network. Our laboratory has a close association with clinical and scientific colleagues at University Hospital Southampton, the University of Southampton and hosts high profile basic academic research. The GLHs are an integral part of the national Genomic Medicine Service providing state of the art, high quality genomic analysis to transform care for patients with rare diseases and cancer. The pace of change is exponential with genomics being placed at the heart of the future NHS. Our workforce will be fundamental to the successful delivery of this ambitious and high profile service. The successful candidates will have a sound knowledge of human genetics and ability to critically analyse and interpret scientific data. They will join our diagnostic team who are committed to patient-centered service provision through accurate and timely data analysis, interpretation and reporting of genomic information, with the highest quality of attention to detail, to ensure that patient results are delivered in a safe and efficient way in order to direct patient management and therapeutic decisions. The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills to ensure effective multi-disciplinary team-working and communicate complex information at an appropriate level to service users. We invite applications from candidates who have (or are close to achieving) HCPC registration as a Clinical Scientist with experience in either Rare Disease or Oncology. Initial appointment to AFC band 7 or 6 would be dependent on qualifications, experience and HCPC registration. Progression to band 7 would follow HCPC registration. If you are looking for a new challenge in a rewarding role and would like to join a dedicated, patient focused team of health professionals then we would be delighted to hear from you.
