Job Description

Are you passionate about improving the quality of healthcare? Do you have experience of working as a healthcare scientist or technologist? Then consider a move to Manchester and join the EMQN CIC team.

 

EMQN CIC is an internationally respected, UKAS-accredited provider of External Quality Assessment (EQA) services, with >3000 member laboratories in 85 countries. EQA is an essential requirement for any laboratory seeking to attain laboratory accreditation and is a vital component of good clinical governance. EMQN CIC monitors global laboratory performance in diagnostic molecular genetics, molecular pathology, and technical laboratory testing processes. As a community interest company, EMQN CIC is also able to reinvest in our network to provide new EQA schemes, educational activities and to support the development of best practice guidance for our members.

 

Based on the Manchester Science Park, EMQN CIC has both office and laboratory facilities and retains close links with the Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine (MCGM), one of the leading centres for genomics in Europe.

 

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join EMQN CIC as a Scientific Programme Manager. We are seeking an appropriately qualified, self-motivated, and enthusiastic healthcare scientist or technologist to join our scientific team. Flexibility, good communication, robust project management skills, practical laboratory experience and the ability to work to tight deadlines are essential attributes. This is an exciting opportunity to join our small friendly team maintaining existing international services and supporting the development and delivery of EQA.

 

As a Scientific Programme Manager, you will be responsible for:

 

Delivering a portfolio of our existing high quality ISO17043 accredited genomics based External Quality Assessment (EQA) services.

Developing and implementing new EQA services.

Supporting and contributing to the delivery of other educational activities, including webinars and best practice guidelines.

Ensuring the efficient and effective logistical management of aspects of these services.

Contributing to other activities (for example, quality management), as deemed necessary to ensure that EMQN CIC complies with all relevant legal and regulatory standards.

 

This post will be varied and challenging, and the successful individual is expected to use their own initiative to promote good working relationships with colleagues. A small amount of travel to support delivery of our assessment meetings will be required. In return, you’ll find that we’re committed to development and training for all staff and offer flexibility to allow some remote working. We offer a generous contributory pension scheme and benefits / salary package.
