Specialist Biomedical Scientist (Virology), B6, B6 Annex 21 or B5

Band 6

Trosolwg o'r swydd

This post is for a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist with Virology experience.

Ideally the post holder will have completed their IBMS Specialist Portfolio in Virology.  However, a B6 Annex 21 training position will be considered for the right candidate depending on experience within a virology department.

B6 (Annex 21), starting at 65% top of B6, this will progress to 70% and then 75% after training milestones achieved.

A B5 position will also be considered for HCPC registered BMS with UK laboratory experience.  This would be a run through training position to B6 after IBMS Specialist Portfolio completion and suitable training period completed. 

This will be discussed at interview and post/salary will be discussed and agreed.

The Virology department at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS trust  provides a comprehensive 24/7 clinical diagnostic microbiology service. 

While working in the Virology department you will gain experience using the following equipment; Alinity I, Alinity M, Liaison, AltoStar, Cepheid, KingFisher and Maxwell Extraction platforms and AusDiagnostics.
