Maintain cleaning equipment and PPE, reporting any faults immediately
Monitor and replenish cleaning materials stock levels
Handle cleaning chemicals safely and responsibly
Promote the ‘One Team’ approach by supporting other departments where needed
Report incidents, risks, or concerns to your Team Leader or Manager
Take on additional reasonable tasks as required by management

What We’re Looking For

We’re after someone with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a can-do attitude. Previous experience in a hygiene or cleaning role within food production is ideal, but not essential.

Food Safety Level 2
High attention to detail
Good communication skills
Reliable and proactive
Previous experience working in hygiene or food production
Knowledge of COSHH and safe chemical handling
Understanding of High Care environments

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Biotech: The Next Big Leap for Life Sciences

Biotechnology sits at the confluence of science and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare, agriculture, and beyond. In the past few decades, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has supercharged this field by offering predictive modelling and data analysis tools that are faster and more accurate than ever before. But a new, potentially game-changing ally is emerging in the quest to deepen our understanding of life’s complexities: quantum computing. Early signs suggest that quantum-enhanced AI could give biotech research a major shot in the arm—enabling new breakthroughs in drug discovery, genomics, and computational biology at speeds previously thought unattainable. By harnessing qubits instead of binary bits, quantum computing can explore vast solution spaces in parallel, promising to streamline processes that currently cost millions of pounds and untold hours of lab time. In this article, we’ll explore: How quantum computing differs from traditional computing. Why AI, particularly in biotechnology, stands to benefit from quantum’s speed and scale. Practical applications—from rational drug design to personalised medicine—that could be revolutionised. The emergence of quantum-biotech roles, including salary insights and skill requirements. Actionable strategies for professionals ready to ride the next wave of scientific innovation. Whether you’re a biotech professional looking to future-proof your career, a student investigating the next hot field, or simply curious about the intersection of cutting-edge tech and life sciences, read on. You’ll discover how quantum-enhanced AI is poised to reshape biotechnology and what you can do to be part of this transformation.
