NHS Shetland has an exciting opportunity for a Biomedical Scientist to lead the Biochemistry service to cover Maternity Leave. You would be joining a friendly and dynamic Laboratory team in its purpose built facility in the Gilbert Bain Hospital, Lerwick. Serving a population of circa 24k and processing circa 200k samples per annum in total, the laboratory has a close working partnership with NHS Grampian.


Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team offering a service to our small, remote and rural 63-bedded hospital and 10 health centres, you act in a sole charge role to provide leadership and expertise to the Biochemistry section. NHS Shetland was the first laboratory in Scotland to go live with the nationally procured LIMS solution and this role will give you the chance to input into the National Implementation. In addition, you will provide advice to healthcare staff on the appropriateness of tests and results and participate in the support and training of other staff.  


A  HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist, you will have relevant post graduate qualifications or equivalent experience suitable for registration as a Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences. Once trained you will be required to participate in the multi-disciplinary on-call roster.


This contract is for a fixed-term until 30/09/2025. The reason for the fixed-term contract is maternity leave cover.  If you wish to apply for this post as a secondment opportunity, you will need to discuss with your line manager before submitting an application.

 

Rise to the challenge and enjoy the opportunity - Shetland is a wonderful place to live and work.  Shetland offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, great leisure facilities, unique wildlife and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland.  To find out more about living and working in Shetland go to www.shetland.org
