Working closely with clinicians you will agree service contracts and manage workload allocation, performance and career development.

Holding a Degree in Biomedical Science or equivalent with HCPC Registration or equivalent, you demonstrate advanced theoretical and practical knowledge. Expert in routine diagnostic procedures, you have considerable post-qualification experience in a routine medical laboratory, including a senior or managerial role in a laboratory setting where you have set up staff development and performance protocols You have practical experience of UKAS accreditation processes and good understanding of legislation and regulations.

In addition, you must demonstrate our core values of fairness, integrity and teamwork and use your diverse expertise and experiences to ensure your time on the Island has the broadest benefit to St Helena. As an officer funded through the Technical Co-Operation Programme you will be expected to share your knowledge and skills beyond the workplace contributing to workforce, community and capacity development in St Helena.

Our Benefits Package Includes:

  • Economy class flights from your home country to St Helena at the start and end of the tour of duty
  • Mid-term fare-paid flights for tours of 18 months or more
  • A freight allowance of up to a standard 20ft container at the start and end of the tour of duty
