Point of Care Testing Practitioner
An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the Point of Care Testing (POCT) team based at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Although this post is primarily based at Blackpool Victoria Hospital the successful candidate may be expected to carry out work at other sites when required.
This is an exciting opportunity to take on a role that has been developed as part of the ongoing Trust POCT improvement initiative. We are looking for an individual on a full time basis who has experience working within a Pathology Laboratory or working with POCT devices and methods in a Healthcare setting.
Suitable candidates will require a relevant professional/scientific qualification to degree level or higher, current registration with HCPC and a Post Graduate Diploma (IBMS Specialist portfolio or equivalent).
The intended working hours for this position are 8:30am-4:30pm.
The post holder will work as part of the Departmental and Multidisciplinary Teams maintaining good lines of communication and promoting a strong commitment to the department. The principal duty of the post holder will be to provide first line support to operators and departments that use point of care testing (POCT) equipment in order to facilitate safe POCT practice throughout the Trust whilst monitoring and facilitating the correct functioning of all POCT devices. The post holder will also oversee the activity of Support Workers and Associate Practitioners within the POCT Team. Additional duties will be undertaken as directed by the Point of Care Testing Lead in consultation with the post holder.
As a teaching hospital and an organisation committed to continuous learning, we offer a broad range of education and training to staff and students/trainees/other learners. All post holders are expected to fulfil mandatory training requirements, engage in continuous learning and support education and training of others commensurate to their role.
Our Point of Care Testing (POCT) team is a small, friendly, and approachable group dedicated to supporting operators across the organisation. We work closely with clinical teams to ensure POCT equipment is used safely, effectively, and in line with quality standards. From training and competency assessment to troubleshooting, quality assurance, and day-to-day advice, we provide practical support that helps staff deliver timely and reliable patient care. Our collaborative approach ensures operators feel confident, supported, and valued whenever they need assistance. This is an exciting time to join an evolving team which is now part of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Pathology Service.
