NEYGLH provides a comprehensive solid cancer genomics service and is at the forefront of delivering innovative genomic diagnostics across the region.

- This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in shaping and delivering high-quality genomic services within a collaborative and forward-thinking organisation.
Main duties of the job
Some of you responsibilities will include :

- Providing expert professional and scientific advice on genomic testing within NEY.
- Building strong networks and contributing to local, regional and national genomics priorities, supporting collaboration, communication and service development.

At Sheffield Children's, our purpose is clear: to provide healthier futures for children and young people. Our three strategic aims are Outstanding Patient Care, Brilliant Place to Work, and Leaders in Children's Health.
We work with partners across local, regional, and national levels to deliver physical and mental healthcare in both acute and community settings. Many of our clinicians are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.
We're proud that 73% of colleagues would recommend Sheffield Children's as a place to work, placing us among the top five NHS trusts in England -- and the top-ranked trust in the North East and Yorkshire -- in the latest NHS Staff Survey.
Our nearly 4,000 colleagues bring our CARE values -- Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence -- to life every day, creating a kind, welcoming environment where patients and families feel safe and supported.

Main duties of the job
We are currently seeking a suitably qualified, capable and motivated engineer or technologist, to join the team based at the Freeman Hospital, to support the delivery of our services, which include assessment of need, problem solving, risk analysis, design, manufacture and documentation.

Experience of fabrication and TIG welding is desirable, although training provision is available to the successful candidate if required.
