Description
Work Environment:
Full time Laboratory Based; Kidlington, Oxford, UK.
Travel may be very rarely required, on an ad hoc basis.
Shift Work
8.5 hour shift rota basis (inclusive of lunch)
Weekly Shift Times scheduled each week on a rota & communicated by your Line Manager
If you require flexible start / end times please advise & we're open to discussing.
Specimen Dissection - Team Leadership - The Highest Standards
This is not a standard lab role. Ours is not a standard Histopathology Lab.
Working for us means taking a step into a forward-thinking, digitally-driven diagnostic laboratory at the forefront of diagnostic innovation.
At the heart of our laboratory is a passionate team dedicated to advancing healthcare.
For you this means working alongside open, skilled colleagues who inspire growth and learning every day. You're part of a vibrant team, where your ideas matter and your contributions make a real difference to healthcare.
We'll provide unmatched opportunities for ongoing personal and professional career development.
If you have taken your BMS expertise as far as your current environment allows, this is your next move.
Your role
Undertake daily dissection benchwork for categories A to C (evolving to D&E with service demands)
Supervise the performance of MLA, BMA & others, ensuring timely delivery of laboratory targets & dissection quality
Provide specialist advice to service users
Develop and maintain the standard operating procedures for use within the lab, in accordance with relevant regulatory standards including RCPath guidelines
Co-lead internal audit cycles and UKAS/ISO 15189 readiness activity
Ensure QC and QA procedures are followed, escalating issues to the laboratory or quality manager as needed.
Design and deliver in-house training and competency assessments, if required.
Adhere to all regulatory requirements including GDPR and UKAS, and maintain strict patient and data confidentiality at all times
Deputise for the Seniors or Lab Manager for operational matters during planned absence, if needed
Why Senior BMS are joining Diagnexia
Above market salary: Your dissection expertise is priced from day one, not after years of incremental waiting.
Performance pay progression: Annual increases tied to your impact, not a pay scale
Oxford relocation bonus: Moving across UK or this? We help make your transition easier with a financial contribution.
Private healthcare and pension: Cover for your wellbeing, now and in the future.
Growing holiday entitlement: Annual leave increases with tenure. The more you give, the more you earn.
Clear career pathways: Structured development plans, regular reviews, and fast-track progression opportunities.
What you need to succeed;
HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist, maintained at all times with active CPD
Hold a BSc Biomedical Science Degree
Ideally have completed your IBMS Diploma of Expert Practice in Dissection OR a Masters
Strong Specimen dissection experience - Category A-C minimum (Category D&E ideally)
Minimum of 4-5+ years in a UKAS-accredited histopathology or cellular pathology laboratory (Uk based)
Confidence with special stains, embedding, microtome, and section cutting
Experience mentoring or supervising laboratory staff
Digital pathology experience is a bonus, not a barrier. If you are curious and driven, we will build that with you.
What else we look for:
Skill gets you in the room. Will takes you further. We hire people who:
Own their work: No waiting to be managed. You close the gap between what is assigned and what actually needs doing.
Execute: You prioritise by impact and do not let perfect block progress.
Stay curious: Genuinely motivated to improve your craft and the processes around you.
Communicate with intent : Complex science, clear English, written and spoken, for any audience.
Adapt: Change is structural here. If you treat setbacks as data rather than verdicts, you will thrive.
Care: You bring your ambition into alignment with our mission, better faster patient outcomes. Enthusiasm is contagious, and so genuine care & passion.
