Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) is the leading Trust for teaching, research and specialist services in the Northwest of England.


The WHSR team you will be joining provides a quality service running and maintaining pre-analytical equipment as well as unpacking, labelling and registering samples, results reporting and supporting our GPs.


As a Team Leader, we'll look to you to support the administration and management of the WHSR service, supervise its teams, co-ordinate training and undertake first line management with oversight from the management of Central Specimen Reception (CSR), Oxford Road.

A challenging role where accuracy is an essential factor, you'll be responsible for a large team of staff.

This role is an integral part of the MFT CSR team, who are crucial to the operational effectiveness of the laboratory service in one of the leading University Hospital NHS Trusts.

There are 1 post, predominantly based at the WHSR, but you will be required to work at other MFT sites as part of your training as well as resilience of the service.

You'll also need to be organised and committed.

Ideally you will have experience of leading or managing teams, good IT and communications skills are essential, as is a genuine dedication to delivering a high standard of care as part of a close-knit team.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals.

We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.


We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we've launched in September 2022.


We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes.

Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.

If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the 'NHS England' website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.
