For biomedical scientist positions, the entry level qualification is at least HCPC (or a qualification eligible for HCPC registration). This is required because, on occasion, you may be working unsupervised and will have sole responsibility for an area of the laboratory.

For more senior positions within the organisation, further qualifications [e.g. FIBMS (Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science) and/or an MSc degree] are usually required.

For non-UK qualified medical laboratory staff, we occasionally have openings at TDL subject to work permit status or similar right to work in the UK. If you are thinking about working in London for a while, please contact us for further information.

Apart from qualifications and experience, we look for personal qualities. The attributes that will help you successfully do your job and help promote TDL in the best possible light to all our customers include:

• The ability to organise your time, prioritise and cope with a sometimes demanding and time-constrained workload.
• Excellent communication skills. Regular daily interactions with our numerous medical/surgical users are part of the job. We need people who can understand and deal effectively with questions, requests and queries that may arise, and be able to liaise with TDL's consultant pathologists when required.
• A hardworking, conscientious and enthusiastic manner.
• A friendly and outgoing personality, with experience of working as part of a team. This will be a distinct advantage as we pride ourselves in the service we provide, and this is achieved through teamwork and cooperation.
