We’re HeliosX – a healthtech company on a mission to transform how healthcare is delivered; and we’re growing fast. After a year of supplying & supporting over 2,000,000 patients in 2024, we opened the doors to our brand-new Pharmacy Hub in the heart of Leamington Spa in February 2025, and it's already dispensing an incredible 15,000–20,000 units every single day. With demand for our weight loss service skyrocketing, we’re expanding further.
With our weight loss services now supporting thousands across the UK, we’re looking for dedicated Pharmacy Dispensers to help us grow and continue putting patient care first. If you’re organised, ambitious, and thrive in high-energy environments – this is your moment to make a real impact.
What you’ll be doing:
As a key member of our pharmacy operations team, you’ll play a hands-on role in dispensing medications across a range of our services – from GLP-1 weight loss treatments to dermatology, men’s health, and more – supporting each patient’s journey with care and accuracy. Working closely with our pharmacists and packing team, you’ll help ensure medications are processed with precision and dispatched rapidly – meeting our customer promise to patients of safe, high-quality care, delivered in record time.
Your day-to-day tasks will include:

  • Accurately selecting and labelling pharmaceutical products according to prescriptions and SOPs
  • Printing medication labels and GP letters
  • Safely dispatching medications to patients
  • Maintaining accurate and compliant Patient Medication Records (PMRs)
  • Identifying and flagging any medicine-related issues to the Pharmacist
  • Handling stock control, storage, and expiry checks
  • Processing returns and managing stock logs
  • Organising batch sheets with expiry dates in mind
  • Ensuring GP letters are sent out and following up with patients
    What you’ll bring:
  • NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in Dispensing Assistant training, accredited and completed under a Responsible Pharmacist or ACT
  • An eye for detail and strong organisational skills
  • Confidence using IT systems
  • Comfortable working in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
  • Previous pharmacy or warehouse experience is a bonus – but not essential
    Why join us?
  • Be part of something brand new and growing fast
  • Work in a cutting-edge pharmacy hub with plans to include a state-of-the-art lab
  • Join a company that’s revolutionising healthcare
  • Enjoy a structured 4-on/4-off schedule, giving you real work/life balance
    If you require any reasonable adjustments to support you during the interview process, please let us know. We are committed to ensuring an inclusive and accessible experience for all candidates

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

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.
