What you'll need:

  • Relevant qualifications (GCSEs with science background, ideally A-Level or equivalent)
  • At least 2 years' lab experience, ideally in microbiology or quality control
  • A very sharp eye for detail and excellent organisational skills
  • Ability to handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment, prioritising effectively
  • Good problem-solving skills with the confidence to work independently
  • IT skills including Excel and Word for data recording and reporting
  • Experience with lab equipment like autoclaves and incubators is a bonus, but training will be provided
  • Reliable, responsible, and committed to safety and quality standards

What you'll be doing:

  • Collecting, analysing, and reporting on microbiological samples to help maintain product safety and quality
  • Preparing culture media and handling lab equipment correctly
  • Carrying out environmental monitoring including air, water, and surface sampling
  • Maintaining accurate digital and paper records, including batch reviews and data entry
  • Supporting internal and external audits, and helping investigate any test failures
  • Following GMP and health & safety procedures strictly to maintain compliance
  • Managing stock control for raw materials and lab supplies
