What if your pharmaceutical skills are what we need to make new drugs safer for patients?
As one of the largest early stage Clinical Research Organizations in the world, we have recently brought to life four ultramodern Clinical Research Units in the UK and US... and the jewel of the crown is our facility at Drapers Yard Leeds. This is a world class, state-of-the-art 65,000 ft² space with 100 beds (and growing), fully dedicated to Early Clinical research (and 7 minutes walking from the train station!)
This is where you come in, because we are growing our investigational research pharmacy team and are looking for our next Pharmacy Technician.

• This is a full-time and permanent opportunity, working hours are 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday with very occasional weekend shift (typically under 4 hours and compensated with flexi time or overtime pay.)

WHO YOU ARE

• A RegisteredPharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council in the UK

• Have a proven track record of working in a fast-paced and demanding hospital or industrial pharmacy setting

AND/OR

• Have experience working in cGMP, GCP and/or GLP environments

A big PLUS: hands-on experience in sterile, aseptic product manipulation in clean rooms
(Haven´t you registered yet with the GPC? We are open to consider your interest if you can demonstrate the experience explained above).
ON A NORMAL DAY, YOU WILL...
Learn. And grow. No two days will be the same; and this is because you will be exposed to a wide variety of Therapeutic Indications and study types (ascending dose, first-in-human, food effect, drug to drug interactions, etc.)
Regardless of your projects, every day you will run the pharmacy operations with respect to inventory, use, supply, storage, and disposal of investigational drug products. In particular:
Gain a profound understanding of all allocated protocols regarding Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) handling.
Reception, storage, packaging and disposition of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and IMP

• Ensure each supply is uniquely identified and integrity of blind is maintained,
• Create manufacture/assembly/dispensing instructions and the generation of labels for packaging,
• Final inventory control, after production is finished.

Drug Production: produce doses for phase I human Clinical trials in a research setting working under cGMPs and GCPs.

• Partnering with sponsor´s Clinical Research Associates on their data review visits to ensure Fortrea was compliant with the protocol, appropriate regulations and GMP/GCP requirements.

THERE IS ONE THING THAT ONLY FORTREA CAN OFFER...
