The Liphook Equine Hospital is a world-renowned, fully equipped, state-of-the-art equine referral veterinary hospital providing 24 hour specialist clinical care to horses, ponies and donkeys referred from our own practice and from veterinary practices across the UK. Samples are submitted to our laboratory on a daily basis from within the UK, continental Europe and further afield. The reputation of the hospital requires that a very high standard of service is provided and that previous experience in clinical diagnostic microbiology is ideal. Although team-work is an important facet of the role, there will also be a requirement to perform advanced microbiologic techniques competently without supervision.
We are seeking an additional laboratory technician who will assist in various laboratory roles including microbiology. Knowledge of polymerase chain reaction methods (conventional and real-time) along with automated microbial identification systems would be helpful. We perform daily testing Monday-Saturday in haematology, biochemistry, microbiology, parasitology and serology. The successful candidate will also be required to support the rest of the team in general sample handling, administration and analysis.
This position is offered on a full time permanent contract (Monday-Friday) and includes working Saturdays on a rota basis for which time off in lieu is provided.
As you will be based in a rural location at the Liphook Equine Hospital, a current driving license is ideal and access to a vehicle is necessary.
A salary package commensurate with experience and qualification is offered.
Please apply to the Practice Manager enclosing your CV and the names of at least two referees. Please include details of your notice period and current salary package.
Applications should be sent either by mail to Liphook Equine Hospital, Forest Mere, Liphook, GU30 7JG or by email to post@theleh.co.uk
