Advanced Biomedical Support Worker - Clinical Blood Sciences

The successful applicant will be able to work with laboratory equipment and processes across the Blood Sciences disciplines (Biochemistry, Haematology, Blood Transfusion and Central Pathology Reception).
Whilst full training will be provided, you will need to have proven experience of working in a diagnostic pathology department and have knowledge across a range of laboratory procedures. The successful candidates will be expected to participate in the 24hr shift system after suitable training. Continuous professional development (CPD) will be encouraged.
There may be a need for the successful candidate to change their usual working location to one of the other SWLP laboratories in the future.

The South West London Pathology laboratory at Kingston Hospital operates a 24hr shift system providing cover to a busy A&E and acute services. The Laboratories are equipped with Roche c8000 analysers with P612 pre/post analytics automation for Biochemistry, and ACL Top 550, Beckman Coulter DxH 800 with AutoMate 1200 for pre/post analytics Haematology and coagulation services, as well as Diamed IH-100 for automated Blood Transfusion services. Genexpert and Liat analysers are used for rapid Covid-19 testing.
The laboratory is about to undergo a major rebuild and Beckman instrumentation (AU5812s and DxI9000s) will replace the current biochemistry and immunoassay analysers later this year.
