As a Biomedical Scientist in Haematology & Transfusion, youll:

  • Perform a wide range of routine and specialist tests to HCPC standards.
  • Assess samples, interpret and authorise results, and act on anomalies.
  • Maintain quality and safety through strict QC checks, troubleshooting and equipment care.
  • Work independently during core and out-of-hours shifts to ensure timely patient care.
  • Train and support colleagues, students and ward staff carrying out testing.
  • Contribute to service improvement by assisting with new methods, equipment evaluation and stock control.

Youll combine precision, problem-solving and teamwork to deliver accurate results that make a real difference to patient care.

We’re looking for someone who brings both technical expertise and team spirit:

IBMS-accredited degree and HCPC registration (IBMS Registration Portfolio completed).

Experience working in NHS Haematology & Blood Transfusion, including out-of-hours shifts.

Sound knowledge of health & safety and strict respect for patient confidentiality.

Confident working independently and demonstrating excellent laboratory practice.

Clear, precise communication skills, both written and verbal, with colleagues at all levels.

A strong team player, calm under pressure, with a friendly and approachable manner.

Enthusiastic about ongoing training, development and service improvement.

Flexible, adaptable, and ready to take on new challenges.

We are an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff work in patients homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield).

We prioritise our people and values so we can deliver the best possible care to patients. Our team is friendly, passionate, and innovative, always seeking better ways to work.

We support work-life balance and foster a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and especially encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minority groups, and people with disabilities or neurodivergence to apply, as they are currently underrepresented in the Trust.

As a member of the team, you will have access to the NHS pension plan, a generous holiday allowance, employee health and wellbeing services and extensive benefits and support. These include onsite nurseries, childcare vouchers, home electronics schemes, working carers support, carer-friendly policies, and more.

If you value caring, high standards, improvement, and respect, join the MY team to make a difference every day.
