The Code of Practice on the English language requirement for public sector workers, Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 requires that Councils ensure that all candidates applying for customer facing posts must be assessed in order to establish their fluency in English.

The criteria under special knowledge and experience on the job profile which is shown in this advert outlines what level of fluency you will be expected to demonstrate.  Therefore, it is essential that you provide examples in your application.

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 faith communities are met.

Applicants should possess an RSPH Level 3 and/or Level 4 Diploma in Anatomical Pathology Technology and at least 5 Years post diploma experience working at senior level in a mortuary environment.
