Job summary
Leadership.
Taking people with you, taking them from where they're at professionally to where they could be, should they fill their potential. It's about finding that potential and setting up an environment which facilitates this growth on a technical and behavioural level.
It's about navigating the need to do now, and balancing that with investment into the future, removing barriers for advancement, ensuring you're all working towards the same goals, and making sure everyone knows it.
Could you be such a leader? Are you inspired to stretch beyond the technical and apply your management, diplomacy and strategic skills to develop and strengthen an existing team of Biomedical Scientists and support staff?
If you're an existing Senior Biomedical Scientist looking for your next step towards operational management and, if this is not interesting enough, you'll also be able to take advantage of a £10'000 welcoming bonus to facilitate your move to us (subject to terms).
In the heart of the Somerset countryside, within easy reach of beautiful coastlines, rolling hills and bustling cities, SPS laboratories have a rich and extensive test repertoire offering the diversity and interest of a town location in the heart of the countryside. This is where you can meet your new team.
Apply at the bottom to learn more.
Main duties of the job
Our team at SPS have been fundamental to the principle of making a positive difference to healthcare in Somerset for over a decade. We hold ISO15189 UKAS accreditation and are an HCPC approved training Laboratory for both IBMS Registration and Specialist Portfolios.
You will be based within the Infectious Sciences laboratory (including Bacteriology, Parasitology, Virology, Molecular and Mycology), there will be a requirement to rotate within all areas.
If you're an individual who is keen to expand your experience in teaching, mentoring, and operational management, especially if these opportunities are limited within your current role, this may give you that avenue you're looking for.
You must have strong quality management experience and a proven ability to drive continuous improvement within laboratory quality systems and processes. You will identify opportunities for service improvement, strengthen quality management practices, and support the department in maintaining high standards of compliance and patient care.
Excellent organisational and IT skills are essential, along with the resilience to work effectively within a busy and evolving service.
The role involves lone working during evening and weekend shifts, therefore the successful candidate must be confident working independently and making decisions autonomously when required.
