Join a Forward-Thinking Mortuary Service at University Hospital Southampton

We are offering a unique opportunity for motivated individuals to join our dynamic and evolving mortuary team as Band 3 Trainee Anatomical Pathology Technicians. This is your chance to begin a rewarding career in a highly specialised and respected field within healthcare science.

As a trainee, you will embark on a structured, department-led training programme designed to build your skills and confidence in all aspects of Anatomical Pathology Technology. You'll be actively involved in supporting both current and future service developments, becoming an integral part of a team that is nationally recognised for excellence.

Your Development Pathway

Successful candidates will progress through a comprehensive training framework, working towards the Royal Society of Public Health Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Science (Anatomical Pathology Technology). Upon completion and demonstration of further competencies, there may be the opportunity to advance to the Level 4 Diploma, further solidifying your role as a key contributor to the department.

Training will be delivered through a combination of in-house instruction and online attendance at a nationally accredited training centre, ensuring a well-rounded and robust learning experience.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
