Advanced Biomedical Scientist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes employer heading description, job overview, main duties, working for organization, detailed job description, person specification etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions (like "You will be redirected to Trac to apply..."). We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract content about role, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits (maybe from "Staff Benefits" doc but not given details; we have mention "Please see attached information on what Staff Benefits we have to offer at our Trust under ‘Documents to download’". No actual benefit details provided in text, so we cannot create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: not specified. Schedule: mention "37 Hours 30 Minutes/Week, including participation in Saturday rota (approximately one week in 6)". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Qualifications: essential criteria: MSc in Biomedical Sciences or equivalent e.g. HSD / level of knowledge; BSc in Biomedical Science or equivalent; HCPC registration. Also mention "Applicants who are nearing completion of an IBMS Higher Specialist Diploma in Cellular Pathology or Leadership and Management, or a relevant subject MSc are encouraged to apply and will be considered. Candidates who have not yet achieved the required qualification(s) will be appointed at Band 6 until completion." That's qualifications. Skills: desirable criteria: Keyboard and IT related skills; also mention "experience of quality management systems, service improvement, and digital pathology would be advantageous." Also "Training and Leadership experience through work based practice and/or course attendance". Also "Knowledge and experience of Laboratory Accreditation and governance e.g. UKAS ISO15189 and Human Tissue Authority (HTA)". So we can put Skills section. Responsibilities: main duties list. About the role: maybe job overview and employer description? Could combine employer description as About the role? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role (job overview, employer description). Responsibilities (main duties). Requirements (maybe essential criteria? but we have Qualifications separate). Could combine Requirements as essential criteria besides qualifications? The person specification includes Qualifications & Education, Knowledge & Experience essential criteria. Could treat Requirements as knowledge & experience essential criteria. Qualifications as qualifications & education. Skills as desirable criteria. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. We must not include Benefits, Pay unless specific content. No benefit details given, so omit Benefits. Pay not given, omit. Now produce HTML fragment: use

headings, then

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like specific numbers, etc. Let's extract content.

We should include all these as responsibilities. Requirements: knowledge & experience essential criteria: "Previous experience and knowledge in Cellular Pathology gained as a Specialist Biomedical Scientist". Also maybe "experience of quality management systems, service improvement, and digital pathology would be advantageous" but that's desirable. So Requirements: essential criteria: previous experience and knowledge in Cellular Pathology as a Specialist Biomedical Scientist. Also maybe "Applicants who are nearing completion of an IBMS Higher Specialist Diploma in Cellular Pathology or Leadership and Management, or a relevant subject MSc are encouraged to apply and will be considered." That's more qualifications. But we can put Requirements as knowledge & experience essential criteria. Qualifications: essential criteria: MSc in Biomedical Sciences or an equivalent qualification e.g. HSD / level of knowledge; BSc in Biomedical Science or equivalent qualification; HCPC registration. Also note about IBMS Higher Specialist Diploma etc. Skills: desirable criteria: Training and Leadership experience through work based practice and/or course attendance; Knowledge and experience of Laboratory Accreditation and governance e.g. UKAS ISO15189 and Human Tissue Authority (HTA); Keyboard and IT related skills; experience of quality management systems, service improvement, and digital pathology would be advantageous. Schedule: "37 Hours 30 Minutes/Week, including participation in Saturday rota (approximately one week in 6)". Also maybe mention flexible working friendly organization: "As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you." That's also schedule/flexible working info. Could include in Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like "Please see attached information on what Staff Benefits we have to offer at our Trust under ‘Documents to download’". That's not specific benefit details, so we omit Benefits section. Also remove lines like "Informal enquiries are welcome." That's maybe not substantive? Could be considered but it's generic. Might keep as part of About the role? It's not essential. Probably safe to omit as it's not substantive detail about role. Similarly "Whilst Newcastle Hospitals are a forward thinking and highly innovative organisation, the use of Third-Party Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a risk..." that's boilerplate about recruitment process; remove. Also remove "Applicants must meet the essential criteria in the job description." generic. Also remove "Please note it is a requirement of The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust that all successful candidates who require a DBS for the post they have been offered pay for their DBS certificate." That's specific requirement about DBS payment; maybe we should keep as it's substantive? It's about condition of employment. Could be included in Requirements or Qualifications? It's a requirement. Might include in Requirements as a bullet: "Successful candidates requiring a DBS must pay for the certificate via salary deduction." But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that detail. However it's not under a specific heading; we can place it in Requirements section as a note. Also "Candidates who are shortlisted for interview will be contacted by e-mail. You should check your SPAM folders as well as your inbox. If you have not been contacted within 4 weeks of the closing date you should assume your application
