Manufacturing Support Assistant - Pharmaceutical

ITH Pharma specialises in the provision of Parenteral Nutrition, Chemotherapy and CIVAS. Our team provides flexible services with batch and bespoke items for adults, paediatrics and neonates to both NHS and Private Hospitals. The successful candidate will be joining a forward-thinking organisation where sharing ideas and developing our people is how we have built our success.

As a Manufacturing Support Assistant, you will support processes across the entire pharmaceutical product lifecycle in relation to product disinfection from the beginning to the end of the manufacturing process, stock provision within pre-production and packaging of medicines in our post-production area.

Key tasks include:

  • Disinfection and assembly of raw materials.

  • Identifying and reporting any defects in equipment and materials.

  • Integrity and stock content checks.

  • Stock level monitoring and rotation.

  • Adhere to all SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures).

  • Work to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)

  • Ensure all documentation is completed in line with strict process procedures.

  • Maintaining strict hygiene in all support areas to GMP standards.

    The Person – Skills and Qualities Required

    Applicants must be logical and able to work systematically in a consistent way, ideally having demonstrated this ability in a fast-paced working environment.

    In addition, you will need good oral and written communication skills in English, be methodical in approach, able to demonstrate close attention to detail, and able to concentrate for long periods of time. An appreciation of customer needs and experience working as part of a busy team to meet tight deadlines without losing focus is also essential.

    Hours of work are 10:00 – 18:30, Monday to Friday with 45 minutes for lunch. There is also a requirement to work some contracted Saturdays throughout the year. Due to the line of work and patients awaiting treatments, there may be occasions where you will stay beyond the contracted finish time to complete the work orders for the day. Whether that is a supply of Parenteral Nutrition or Chemotherapy, it is vital for patients to receive this on the day it is required.

    · Day only shifts

The Future of Biotechnology Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Biotechnology is one of the most transformative sectors of the 21st century. It sits at the intersection of biology, technology, and engineering, and is already reshaping healthcare, agriculture, and industry. In the UK, biotechnology contributes billions to the economy, with innovation clusters in Cambridge, Oxford, London, and Manchester producing world-leading breakthroughs in genomics, cell therapies, and synthetic biology. But what we see today is just the beginning. Advances in gene editing, biomanufacturing, AI-driven drug discovery, and personalised medicine are accelerating so quickly that many of the most important biotechnology careers of the future don’t even exist yet. Just as jobs like “social media manager” or “cloud architect” would have been unimaginable twenty years ago, biotechnology is creating new professions at a speed that outpaces current education and training frameworks. This article explores the future of biotechnology jobs, the types of careers that don’t yet exist, why they are emerging, and how the UK workforce can prepare.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Biotechnology Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's biotechnology sector has evolved into one of Europe's most dynamic and lucrative career markets, with roles spanning from laboratory research to regulatory affairs and bioprocessing engineering. With biotech positions commanding salaries ranging from £28,000 for entry-level research associates to £95,000+ for senior directors, understanding when companies actively recruit can significantly enhance your job search success. Unlike traditional industries, biotechnology hiring follows distinct seasonal patterns driven by research funding cycles, regulatory submission deadlines, and academic collaboration timelines. The sector's unique blend of scientific rigour, commercial pressure, and regulatory oversight creates predictable hiring windows that savvy professionals can leverage to advance their careers. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for biotechnology job applications in the UK, examining how funding announcements, clinical trial phases, and academic calendars influence when companies expand their teams and why strategic timing can make the difference between landing your ideal role and missing the opportunity entirely.

Pre-Employment Checks for Biotechnology Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained
