Role Description

●        The Head of Clinical Pathology is a line management role within VPG Reference Laboratories and is an exciting opportunity to be responsible for delivering a market leading pathology service to all clients of VPG/Zoetis. The role will include change management responsibility during the ZOETIS transition and there will also be shared involvement with our internationally recognised resident training programme, business development and marketing activities aimed at improving and growing the service. This person will work closely with the other Head of Clinical Pathology.

●        The candidate will lead half of the Clinical Pathology Team and the position is remote based with opportunity to visit the VPG laboratories on a regular basis.

●        The candidate will report into the Associate Director of pathology (UK and IRL). Excellent collaboration with our Pathology Logistics Co-Ordinator is essential to ensure delivery of a timely and high quality delivery of service.

●        The candidate should work collaboratively with the Laboratory Directors to deliver an excellent and coherent laboratory service from sample reception through to pathology.

●        The candidate should identify opportunities to improve the pathology service, through productivity, quality, recruitment and staff performance.

●        Previous management experience, although desirable, is not essential, with previous demonstration of positive project involvement, customer interactions, team-building, change management and collaboration. Excellent communication skills and familiarity with pathology LIMS systems and computer acumen are essential as the team moves on to the LION system.

●        A Board qualification with the European or American College of Pathologists is mandatory together with MRCVS registration.
