This is a fantastic long-term temporary role for anyone with a genuine interest in science – whether you’re a school leaver, returning to work, or simply keen to learn in a fast-paced environment. Full training will be provided, and you’ll gain valuable experience in both Quality Control and Microbiology.

*
Keeping laboratories clean, tidy, and safe
*
Assisting the team with product testing (full guidance and support provided)

*
Great attention to detail and willingness to learn
*
Able to work both independently and as part of a team
*
Proactive and adaptable in a fast-paced environment

What you’ll get:
*
Attractive starting salary (based on experience)
*
Hours of work - 4 on 4 off 6am to 6pm
*
24 days annual leave + bank holidays (with the option to buy/sell up to 3 days)
