The ideal candidate will have solid experience working within a biosciences laboratory, have good communication skills, a strong understanding of laboratory Health and Safety and a willingness to learn and develop themselves, as well as teach others.

You will be overseeing a small team of technicians and will be interacting with students, academic staff and other members of the technical team on a daily basis. The successful candidate will have a strong focus on customer service, ensuring everything is provided to the highest possible standard.
