Description

We are looking for highly motivated Clinical Bioinformatician to join our expanding Bioinformatics team at the South East Genomic Laboratory Hub (SEGLH), currently based at Guy's Hospital but with a planned move to a hub at Blackfriars.

The successful applicant will be dedicated and enthusiastic with knowledge and experience of working with NGS pipelines and large datasets, and strong programming and troubleshooting experience.

Applicants should be good communicators, be able to take initiative, support continual quality improvement and prioritise workload. The role requires consistent attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.

Applicants will be expected to have attained or be working towards passing HCPC registration. STP trainees in their final year of training are encouraged to apply.

The role would involve maintaining and operating the bioinformatics pipelines for the processing of next generation sequencing data for both Guys and King's College Hospitals, managing multiple pipelines supporting services for the Genomic Medicine Service.

The post-holder will work with other clinical scientists to support the development, validation and implementation of new/updated diagnostic tests.

This will include developing and delivering validated software for delivery of diagnostic services following clinical best practice guidelines as well as working with cloud-based infrastructure, local databases and the latest technologies to deliver bioinformatics services.

We support a flexible, hybrid working pattern.

The role is based at the Guy's Hospital site, however occasional travel to other Synnovis sites, such as King's College Hospital may be requested.

You will have a suite of learning opportunities available through The Synnovis Way Development programme, the Scientific Learning and Development Fund and the Synnovis Academy through which you can receive funding / support for advanced qualifications.

At Synnovis, we are currently shaping the future of pathology services by creating a world-leading Hub and Spoke pathology network with our NHS partners.

A large part of this modernisation will involve moving 70% of our services to a purpose built, state of the art Hub laboratory in the heart of London.

Synnovis is a pathology partnership between SYNLAB UK and Ireland, and the NHS, including sites, Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, to deliver and transform pathology services across South East London.

The partnership provides services to 1.7 million people living in South East London, as well as to hundreds of thousands of patients from outside the region who use local healthcare services.

The partnership provides diagnostics, testing and digital pathology for hospital trusts, GP services and other healthcare providers.
