What you'll need to succeed

Although desirable, you will not necessarily come from a laboratory background to be considered for this role, but some lab experience would be beneficial. This includes college/university studies that include lab work. However, great attention to detail and experience working in a fast-paced environment would also be acceptable. You will be able to communicate and accurately convey information both verbally and in writing. You will have the ability to build sound technical knowledge of assigned processes and accurately absorb and follow technical instructions. You will have the ability to work in a team setting, contributing to both your team and the organisation's success.

What you'll get in return

This is a great opportunity to work for a global company, where you will earn a competitive rate of £13.51 per hour. You will be paid weekly via Hays as a PAYE worker. This role is a temporary contract initially with the possibility of extension thereafter. You will learn great skills to potentially kick-start your lab career working as part of a great team.
