HSE Manager


This is a unique and challenging opportunity to taken on multi-site responsibility across an expanding pharmaceutical manufacturing business who are looking to strengthen their approach to consistent Health and Safety management. Having pushed forward over the past two years in a number of successful projects to increase manufacturing and headcount, Health and Safety remains a clear and obvious area of focus.


Whilst this is multi-site focused, it is important to recognise that there is a critical focus on not just on HSE oversight but also hands on responsibility across all Health and Safety aspects.


The unique nature of the manufacturing will require you to bring previous experience in either radiation and/or radioactivity. This will include how to create consistency in procedures and support with local site challenges, in order to maintain compliance.


Given that the business is looking to expand its number of facilities, the HSE Manager will also be responsible for creating new documentation and processes in which to implement.


The position will be based remotely and not assigned to one facility – however, you will be expected to travel to spend time in person each site around once per month. Therefore flexibility to travel within the UK is critical. A car / car allowance will be provided as part of the wider benefits package to support this.


In the first 6 months, 3 days on site in one of the South-East facilities in Surrey will be required to support immediate challenges.


For further information, please contact Mark Bux-Ryan.


Key experience:

  • Established and experience HSE / Health and Safety professional with hands on experience
  • Must have experience in relevant radioactive settings (this does not have to be pharmaceuticals).
  • IRR17 experience and exposure to carrying out radiological risk assessments
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills
  • Hands on approach with the ability to work with all levels in the business

Biotech Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Place in Britain’s Biotech Boom When most people picture biotechnology careers they imagine pipettes, petri dishes and white‑coated scientists in Cambridge or Oxford. Yet for every bench scientist there is an ecosystem of professionals who never set foot in the lab but are crucial to getting a therapy, diagnostic or food‑tech breakthrough to market. The UK BioIndustry Association (BIA) reports that non‑scientific vacancies now make up more than one‑third of all biotech job ads, and demand is accelerating. According to Vacancysoft’s Life Sciences Labour Market Trends (November 2024), biotech job postings in the Golden Triangle jumped 26 % year‑on‑year, with hotspots also emerging in Birmingham and Glasgow. Finance is following suit: the sector attracted £3.5 billion in investment during 2024, a 94 % rebound from 2023 levels. More capital means more hires in project management, regulatory affairs, and commercial operations. In short, biotech is not just for PhDs, and you don’t need to master CRISPR to make an impact. This guide explains the high‑growth, non‑technical roles; the transferable skills you already possess; real‑life transition stories; and a step‑by‑step plan to pivot into the UK’s most exciting industry.
