We are inviting applications from a dynamic, reliable, motivated and enthusiastic person to join our existing friendly and hardworking team in the Blood Sciences department at the Chesterfield site of Derbyshire Pathology.
You should have a minimum of GCSE Mathematics, English and Science or equivalent. Experience of computer systems and customer service including dealing with telephone enquiries is desirable.
Previous laboratory experience or data entry would also be an advantage but is not necessary as full training will be given. Training and competency assessment will be undertaken with an expectation for the candidate to participate in the shift rota including early morning, evening, weekend and bank holiday working.
The candidate is also required to be flexible regarding working patterns to support the needs of the service. This is an opportunity to join a friendly, well-motivated team and we would encourage you to contact us to discuss the post further.
Duties include receipt, checking and sorting of specimens, labelling and preparation for analysis, inputting patient and test data into the laboratory computer system, handling telephone enquiries, as well as general laboratory housekeeping and clerical duties such as photocopying and filing.
You will be required to sit or stand for extended periods of time whilst preparing samples and inputting data, therefore the ability to multi-task and work flexibly are essential.
Closing date of applications: 10 February 2025
Interview date: 24 February 2025
