The Department of Blood Sciences is seeking to recruit additional Biomedical Scientists in Clinical Biochemistry to help shape, deliver and improve the service we deliver to our patients.

    Main duties of the job The successful candidate will work within a large busy laboratory, serving both Leeds Teaching Hospitals and the wider community.
