Job Description:

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The shift pattern for this position is Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Healthcare Scientist to join the UK NEQAS Cardiac Markers team, based at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

UK NEQAS Cardiac Markers is an ISO/IEC 17043 accredited proficiency testing provider working to improve cardiac biomarker investigations in the clinical laboratory sector for the benefit of patients. The centre provides a comprehensive external quality assessment (EQA) service in the area of cardiac biomarkers to laboratories throughout the UK and internationally.

This is a new post, working within a small friendly team. The role will provide core support to the highly specialist EQA service including assistance with service planning and development, preparation and testing of EQA material, liaison with participants and other stakeholders, quality management, and maintenance of UKAS accreditation.

Applications are encouraged from interested HCPC registered Biomedical or Clinical Scientists. It is essential that you have experience of general clinical laboratory practice within the UK, and are able to demonstrate excellent analytical, communication and organisational skills.

If this post interests you, we would strongly encourage you to contact us prior to submitting your application to arrange an informal chat or to visit UK NEQAS Cardiac Markers to find out more about this unique and varied role. Please contact Dr Naomi Elkin, Scheme Organiser at [emailprotected].

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde encourages applications from all sections of the community. We promote a culture of inclusion across the organisation and are proud of the diverse workforce we have.

By signing the Armed Forces Covenant, NHSGGC has pledged its commitment to being a Forces Friendly Employer. We support applications from across the Armed Forces Community, recognising military skills, experience and qualifications during the recruitment and selection process.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
