A fixed term opportunity has arisen at EKHUFT for a new role as Case Allocation Manager, predominantly to support the histopathology service within Cellular Pathology with the implementation of a points based caseload distribution of diagnostic work to its medical staffing. This will include digital distribution as digital pathology rolls out within both the EKHUFT team and the wider Kent and Medway Pathology Network. After the 1 year fixed term period and on the proviso that the fixed term period has been successful, funding will be sought to make the position substantive.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the team within Pathology at the EKHUFT Trust and to help shape future strategy and services for our local population. Our laboratory is positioned within the beautiful garden of England within close reach of the Kentish Coast, London and the continent, supported by excellent transport links. All in all, a great place to work, to live, to raise a family and to achieve a positive work life balance.

Cellular Pathology is based at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, providing a wide range of cellular diagnostics in a team based environment.
