I would like to draw your attention to a vacancy we have for a Clinical Scientist based at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This
is an ideal opportunity to gain experience in metabolic paediatrics and newborn screening in addition to supporting the routine clinical biochemistry service. No specific experience of these specialties is required as full training will be provided.
Appointment to Band 8a will require you to have Clinical Biochemistry experience, to be HCPC registered as a Clinical Scientist and have
an MSc or equivalent in Clinical Biochemistry and Part 1 FRCPath.
Appointment to Band 7 will be considered for applicants without Part 1 FRCPath, who are HCPC registered, trainees eligible for registration
by Autumn 2020 will be considered for appointment with automatic progression to Band 7 on registration.
The post holder will be required to achieve Part 1 FRCPath and the necessary competencies within a three year period following appointment
at Band 7, at which point they will receive automatic progression to the Band 8a post. Career progression and training will be actively supported, with full support provided for completion of FRCPath.

Newcastle upon Tyne is a great place to live and work, it is a vibrant friendly city with excellent leisure, sport and shopping facilities. The Northumbria
coast is close by, with miles of unspoilt beaches. There are many excellent local schools and good transport links to the rest of the country.
