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

Contract vs Permanent Biotech Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

In the ever-advancing world of life sciences, biotechnology has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most impactful sectors in the UK. From gene editing and regenerative medicine to synthetic biology and vaccine development, British biotech organisations are at the forefront of scientific innovation. With this growth comes a high demand for skilled professionals—scientists, data analysts, regulatory affairs specialists, bioprocess engineers, and more—who can help bring cutting-edge treatments and products to market. However, as the biotechnology landscape in the UK continues to expand, so too do the ways in which professionals choose to work. Beyond traditional permanent employment, many biotech specialists are exploring the world of contracting, which can take the form of day‑rate consulting or fixed-term contracts (FTC). Each path promises unique advantages and disadvantages, from pay rates and benefits packages to career development and job security. This article offers a comprehensive guide on contract vs. permanent biotech jobs in 2025. We will explore how the UK biotech sector is shaping up, break down the different types of employment arrangements, and present sample take‑home pay scenarios for each. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision that aligns with both your financial aspirations and long-term career goals within the vibrant and evolving biotech industry.

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.
