Participation in the 24/7 out of hours rota is mandatory for this post

The Synnovis laboratories at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital sites operate as Essential Services Laboratories (ESLs) where many samples come from hospital inpatients or from those attending outpatient clinics. Automated Chemistry is an innovative and progressive department that delivers automated analytical services (provided by Abbott and Roche) to two prominent London teaching hospitals. It offers an extensive repertoire of assays and encompasses Diabetic Clinics and a Foetal Medicine laboratory.

Additionally, it provides intra-operative parathyroid hormone monitoring during parathyroidectomy procedures.

This department is actively engaged in training activities, ranging from IBMS registration and specialist portfolios to presentations and lectures. The in‑house training is well‑structured, featuring monthly CPD sessions, clear training plans supported by UKAS, Synnovis training opportunities, and the option to attend external conferences.

This permanent Specialist Biomedical Scientist post (Band 6 AfC equivalent) offers an exciting opportunity for an HCPC registered BMS to further develop their skills and knowledge in clinical biochemistry. You will have completed the IBMS Specialist Portfolio in Biochemistry or have equivalent knowledge and experience.

You will be required to work a range of shifts, including late shifts and weekends, in accordance with the needs of the service.

The post holder will be responsible for carrying out delegated tasks necessary to deliver a high‑quality biochemistry service, including the analysis and reporting of blood, urine, and other body fluids, thereby supporting efficient patient care and the effective use of hospital resources. Duties may be undertaken within any section of Automated Chemistry.

The laboratories are located across two sites—St Thomas’ and Guy’s—each embracing a rich and diverse cultural environment. Both are esteemed teaching hospitals offering a wide range of clinical specialties, and the St Thomas’ site also houses The Evelina, a dedicated children’s hospital.

You will have access to a comprehensive suite of learning opportunities through The Synnovis Way Development Programme, a cornerstone across Synnovis designed to help you unlock your potential, acquire new skills, and achieve your professional goals. Your development will be actively supported and tailored in collaboration with your line manager, ensuring alignment with your personal ambitions and career aspirations.
