Joanne Gunner

I am the Centre Manager for the Reading Imaging Centre.  I am responsible for the daily operations of the Imaging Centre and its staff ensuring that we capture good quality data while providing a positive experience for our participants.  Our Imaging Centre is proud to play a pivotal role in obtaining high quality imaging data as part of the largest imaging data collection project of its kind in the world.

I have worked with UK Biobank for 3 years and am passionate about what we are achieving here.  UK Biobank provides large-scale biomedical data enabling researchers from across the globe to undertake vital research into major diseases and support scientific discoveries that will improve human health.  As a Company to work for, UK Biobank offers a healthy work-life balance, supporting its employees with a wealth of benefits, training opportunities and is an employee focused and great place to work.

I have been involved with healthcare in one form or another since I started my career as a Medical Secretary many years ago!  I progressed to Operations Management within the NHS with specific interest in cardiology, respiratory, diabetes and Renal services.   I have also been a Practice Manager within the GP sector and even ran my own Electrical Contracting Company for a number of years predominantly working within hospitals and other healthcare settings.

No on calls – great working life balance and full training given.  You have everything to gain so why not apply and see where a career at UK Biobank can take you and you’ll  be part of something unique and amazing.
