QC Sample Management Team Supervisor (18 month Fixed Term Contract)

People come first in this business; it’s all about team leadership, mentoring and stakeholder engagement in a high volume, automated factory technical role.

This is a business that looks after its people. Structured development plans without boundaries, even if you want to grow your skills in an entirely different sector of the business, all will be agreed from the outset.

This role will be ideal for a highly experienced Quality Manager ready to step up or a Technical Manager from a smaller business keen to be part of the SLT. It’s a highly automated site, where the factory will be your domain. And although you’ll be joining a major PLC, this site has a warm, family feel to it.

The most important part of the role is all about people leadership and stakeholder engagement. It reports into the Site Lead who has fostered a ‘results through people’ culture.

OPEX and quality assurance are the drivers here. Your focus is on leading by example through optimisation, waste reduction and continual improvement with rigorous technical and quality controls. Innovation through sustainable packaging development will also sit with you, where you’ll have the opportunity to positively impact the business’s environmental footprint.

You’ll have two direct reports: the Quality Manager who enjoys analysing data and is process-driven, along with a highly experienced Laboratory Manager who leads a team of eight Lab Technicians.

Qualified to degree level in a Food Science, with HACCP level 4, if you have food manufacturing experience at QM or TM level, working to BRC standards, you should apply.

The best leaders know that results are achieved through strong teamwork, so if people and uncompromising quality, technical and food safety standards share equal footing in your world, send your CV today to start the journey.

Maths for Biotech Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Biotechnology is packed with data. Whether you are applying for roles in drug discovery, clinical research, bioprocessing, diagnostics, genomics or regulated manufacturing, you will meet numbers every day: assay readouts, QC trends, dose response curves, sequencing counts, clinical endpoints, stability profiles, validation reports & risk assessments. If you are a UK job seeker moving into biotech from another sector or you are a student in biology, biochemistry, biomedical science, pharmacy, chemistry, engineering or computer science, it is normal to worry you “do not have the maths”. What biotech roles do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up again & again. This guide focuses on the only maths most biotech job adverts quietly assume: • Biostatistics basics for experiments, evidence & decision making • Probability for variability, uncertainty & risk • Linear algebra essentials for omics, PCA & modelling workflows • Calculus basics for kinetics, rates & dose response intuition • Simple optimisation for curve fitting, process set points & model tuning

Neurodiversity in Biotech Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Biotechnology is all about solving complex problems that affect real lives – from new medicines & vaccines to sustainable materials, diagnostics & gene therapies. To tackle those challenges, the sector needs people who think differently. That is exactly where neurodivergent talent comes in. If you have ADHD, autism, dyslexia or another form of neurodivergence, you might have been told that your brain is “too much”, “too distracted” or “too literal” for a lab or scientific career. In reality, many of the traits that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia are perfectly suited to biotech work – from spotting subtle patterns in experimental data to creative thinking around new solutions. This guide is written for biotechnology job seekers in the UK. We will explore: What neurodiversity means in a biotech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map onto specific biotech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you will have a clearer idea of where you might thrive in biotech – & how to set up your working environment so your differences become genuine superpowers.
