Pathology Network Education Trainer

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust are delighted to be recruiting a Pathology Network Education Trainer to support pathology training within the Trust and across the Southern Counties Pathology Network., To be considered for the role you must be suitably qualified (see Person Specification) and have significant experience and knowledge in working in a hospital pathology laboratory. The Southern Counties Pathology Network is looking to recruit Education Trainers across a variety of specialisms across all its member Trusts to support a range of training opportunities and to increase the number of Trainees and Biomedical Scientists having the opportunity to undertake either a Registration or Specialist Portfolio.

The role will involve working with the UHD Pathology training officers as well as other Network Education Trainers and Regional Pathology Workforce Education Leads supporting both registration and specialist portfolios. The successful applicant will also support all other staff with CPD opportunities.

This post is predominantly training-focused, but the post holder will be expected to ensure they maintain their own laboratory competencies and personal CPD.

Informal visits are actively encouraged, come see the laboratory and meet the team.

We are looking for someone who is committed, self-motivated, and has a passion for training, with a solid understanding and experience of working in a laboratory at either Specialist or Senior Biomedical Scientist level. We are looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we enable our staff to provide our services.

Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.

UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.

This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.

If a role or service relocates as part of a planned move, excess mileage will not be reimbursed. Travel from home to the new work base will be classed as a normal commute. Any other changes will be managed under Trust or national terms and conditions.
