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.

    A background in a busy production or warehouse role is desirable but by no means 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.

    Benefits of Working for ITH Pharma

    In return, we pay a competitive annual salary of £26,530.00.

    Other benefits include:

    · Day only shifts

    · Limited weekend working

    · A medical cash plan scheme

    · Stakeholder Pension

    · 22 days holiday per year year plus 8 bank holidays

    · Regular company activities which include social events, free lunches and treats.

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
