• Experience in a recognised laboratory environment (Lancet, PathCare, NHLS, or similar).
• Comfortable working remotely with digital pathology/reporting systems.
• Strong diagnostic accuracy and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Vibrant, positive personality — passionate about contributing to a pioneering new laboratory.

Ideal for Candidates Who Are

• Looking for a remote, flexible yet meaningful specialist role.
• Looking to step away from the intense pressure of full‑time hospital or lab work.
• Newly qualified (minimum ±2 years technical exposure) OR recently retired.
• Interested in supporting the growth of a new, modern, tech‑enabled laboratory.

What the Client Offers

• Highly competitive salary
• Remote working structure with digital workflow.
• Opportunity to shape clinical processes in a start‑up laboratory environment.
