Description

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Senior Genetic Technologist to join the North West Genomic Laboratory Hub (NW GLH) at Manchester Foundation Trust (MFT) and be part of one of the largest Acute Trusts in the UK, employing over 20,000 staff.


This is a permanent position based at the North West NHS Genomics Laboratory Hub (NW GLH) Manchester site at St Mary's Hospital.

The NW GLH is one of 7 GLHs recently created as part of a national reorganisation to provide a national genomic medicine service.

It is a highly regarded, UKAS accredited, NHS clinical service provider of Genomics to a population of 7.2 million people in the North West of England as well as a wide range of national and international specialist referrals.

The NW GLH is currently undergoing a significant transformational change program and is in the process of implementing a Whole Genome Sequencing service as well as multiple ancillary projects to support the national genomics service reorganisation.


We are looking for individuals with an enthusiastic and flexible attitude who can lead, manage and develop a specialised section of our technical team.

You will have highly specialised knowledge of genomic techniques and ideally be registered as a Genetic Technologist with the Academy for Healthcare Science.

You should also have good communication and organisational skills and be able to work to deadlines.

You will be responsible for all workforce within the team including supervision of trainee staff and be an integral part of the management team for technical staff and resources.

The successful applicants will work and interact with a variety of personnel at all levels, locally, nationally and internationally.

At a crucial time of change and development in our technical teams this is an exciting opportunity for experienced staff to develop themselves as managers and upskill their team to produce high quality data from the key techniques used in a genomics laboratory.


The NW GLH operates a 6 day delivery model and therefore new applicants should be aware that any future postholder will be required to work a pattern to support this; which could include occasional Saturday and Bank Holiday working.


MFT is England's largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts.

We're creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.


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.

What's more, we're excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.


At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.


COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings.

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.

Diversity Matters

We're looking forward to hearing from you
