Job responsibilities

The hospital also provides a range of specialist services across the UK and Europe.
We invite applications from suitably qualified and experienced Biomedical Scientists or Clinical Scientists. You should possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills and have the ability to organise and motivate staff.
