- Accurately record, interpret and communicate analytical results.
- Maintain high standards of laboratory documentation, housekeeping and health and safety.
Candidate profile
We are interested in speaking with candidates who have:
- A degree in Chemistry or another relevant scientific subject.
- Previous practical laboratory experience.
- Experience gained within chemistry, analytical, quality control, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical, environmental or materials laboratories would be particularly relevant.

- £14.00 per hour
