Ideally, you will have a Level 4 Science Qualification (HNC/NVQ/Certificate of Achievement Part I & II) or an appropriate Level 3 qualification PLUS additional theoretical or applied training to diploma level equivalent.


However, if you have a degree - either a Science degree or an Arts degree, then we can offer you free training for this role, along with the opportunity to study for further qualifications to advance your career later if you so wish.


Please Note: Consideration will also be given to candidates, many of whom will already be working in the NHS in alternative roles, who do not fulfil all the essential Qualifications &/or Knowledge but are working towards a Level 4 equivalent qualification or have significant previous experience.

On completion of full training you will be expected to work in all these areas on rotation and contribute to the out of hours rota.
