Nicholas Howard Limited are delighted to be recruiting for a new and exciting role as a Microbiologist.
Based in Winchester, responsibilities will include but not be limited to: -
Baseline Monitoring:
* Working to existing protocol, take samples throughout the facility, prepare and incubate isolates.
* Train a small team in sample collecting, incubation, basic morphology, and gram staining.
* Carry out morphology tests and identification and subsequent gram staining.
* Carry out preparation of pure samples for external speciation.
* Assist with writing the final report, likely taking the lion’s share of the work as the client is not experienced in the appropriate contents required.
Disinfectant Validation:
* Prepare and incubate as required pure cultures from those purchased, standard compendials.
* Prepare and incubate as required any specific cultures (as yet not speciated due to time constraints) that appear in the baseline monitoring and are not covered by the compendial isolates.
* Carry out the coupon testing against three disinfectants including all dilutions etc. A protocol exists.
* Revisit parts of the exercise if failures occur.
* Write the final report.
*
* Operation / At Rest Monitoring:
* As part of the cleaning validation and ongoing.
* Incubate and isolate samples as with the baseline monitoring.
* Check the SOP for active air sampling, use of machine and post-processing.
Growth Promotion Testing of any Batches of Agar Plates:
* Preparation of pure cultures or use existing (from Biomerieux Bioballs) to test plates and any broths. Protocol exists.
