Job summary
The Department of Blood Sciences is seeking to recruit a Quality Team Administrator to support the governance, audit and service improvement activity of the laboratory. This is an exciting time to join one of the largest Pathology departments in the country, and to work in the brand-new facilities provided in the Centre for Laboratory Medicine on the St. Jamess University Hospital site.
The main purpose of the role is to help ensure that there is a robust and consistent approach to the delivery of the Quality Management System. This will involve supporting audits, risk assessments and using service improvement tools to improve processes within the laboratory. The role will also involve the updating of websites, manipulating scientific data for analysis and utilising common IT packages such as Microsoft Office.
Main duties of the job

Strong IT skills are essential for this role.
You will have a passion for service improvement and be an excellent communicator. Previous experience in an administrative or IT role would be advantageous, as would experience training others, although full training will be provided.
You will be able to work flexibly in this role to ensure that all tasks are completed on time and to the required standard. We encourage all candidates to contact us to discuss the role(s), we can offer informal visits to our laboratories for interested candidates.
