Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

Cellular Pathology invites applications for the post of Associate Practitioner to join their friendly team. An excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and suitably experienced individual supporting the full range of services, with the opportunity to rotate and work in a number of areas within Cellular Pathology.

We receive ~51,000 Histology & Cytology requests annually.

The department supports ROSE clinics, a Mohs service, a comprehensive research histopathology service & there is scanning equipment to support the digital agenda. The post-holder will be encouraged to participate in this project as we progress to a fully digitised pathology service. We have recently rolled-out a new laboratory information management system.

The laboratory is IBMS approved for training, is UKAS accredited & CPD is actively encouraged. 

We would also welcome applications from final year students undertaking an IBMS accredited degree that would be looking to secure a role within a diagnostic laboratory. There may also be the opportunity, subject to capacity & funding, to complete the IBMS Certificate of Competence leading to HCPC registration as a Biomedical Scientist.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

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.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
