Trainee Anatomical Pathology Technologist
Westminster Public Mortuary
As a Trainee Anatomical Pathology Technician (TAPT) who is equally keen to make a difference, you can make your own powerful contribution. In this 4-year training role, you will have the chance to gain accredited qualifications while working in a number of fast-paced mortuary environments.
Splitting your time between Westminster Public Mortuary and local NHS trusts, you will combine both practical and theory-based studies in order to ultimately achieve your RSPH Level 3 Diploma Course in Anatomical Pathology Technology, (which is awarded by the Royal Society for Public Health.)
Handling a wide variety of mortuary activities, you will support Pathologists in conducting post-mortem examinations. This will include handling the administrative side of the mortuaries’ activities, such as taking care of the receipt of bodies and their release for burial or cremation. You will also organise formal viewings of bodies, providing a sympathetic and supportive service for relatives at these difficult times.
Public and Forensic Science Centre/Mortuary Manager
Bradford Council
The Public and Forensic Science Centre is a facility operated by Bradford Council on behalf of HM Coroner (for the local authority areas of Bradford, Kirklees and Calderdale). It provides state of the art mortuary and forensic post mortem facilities and is able to undertake non-invasive scans to seek to determine cause of death. We are looking for an experienced manager and qualified anatomical pathology technician who will be responsible for all aspects of the day to day management and development of this facility, including financial management. The post holder will also ensure compliance with the HTA licence, plan work programmes, liaise with coroners, pathologists, police, bereaved families and undertakers.
The Council’s imaging autopsy centre is the first local authority facility in the country and we are proud of pioneering this innovation. The Centre works in close partnership with the local community to ensure that the needs of all communities are met.
Applicants should possess an RSPH Level 3 and/or Level 4 Diploma and at least 5 years' post diploma experience working at senior level in a mortuary environment.
