Job Summary
The stem cell transplant laboratory is an integral part of the Trust's busy Haematology/Oncology stem cell transplant programme. The laboratory, which is HTA licensed and JACIE accredited, provides highly specialist clinical, technical and scientific services to support the transplant programme. Within the laboratory, we receive, process, cryopreserve and issue autologous and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cells for therapeutic use in both adult and paediatric patients. We liaise closely with clinical, nursing and transplant co-ordinator colleagues to ensure an integrated transplant service for end users. We have established a reputation for high quality service provision which we strive to maintain and improve by commitment to excellence and innovation. There is now an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified HCPC registered clinical or biomedical scientist to join the team. Although experience in stem cell transplantation is desirable, candidates with relevant transferrable skills from other laboratory disciplines are encouraged to apply as full training will be given. For further details or visits please contact either Jesmina James, Head of Stem Cell Transplant Laboratory, or Lubinda Mbundi, Deputy Head/Processing Manager on View phone number on meeveem.com Main duties of the job
The post holder will participate in all aspects of the work of this specialist laboratory which provides a comprehensive service to the Haemato/Oncology transplant programme within the Trust. The cellular therapy laboratory team receives haematopoietic progenitor cells collected by apheresis, bone marrow and cord blood and processes and/or stores these for therapeutic use. Additionally, the laboratory calculates, processes and stores donor lymphocyte doses and is involved in clinical trials and treatments employing cellular therapies such as CAR-Ts. As a member of the laboratory team the post holder will assist with cleaning and regular environmental testing of the clean room to ensure a suitable environment for the processing of stem cells and will also be involved in maintenance of the cryogenic facility. Traceability of cells from donor to recipient is of utmost importance so the post holder will be required to work with exceptional accuracy and attention to detail. The post holder will liaise with stem cell transplant programme clinical and ward staff, and work closely with colleagues in Immunophenotyping who perform stem cell enumeration and Microbiology who read environmental testing plates and cultures. The transplant programme is accredited by JACIE and holds a Human Tissue Authority licence for human application. The post holder will be expected to participate fully in meeting regulatory requirements and contribute to quality improvement within the department. About Us
