Summary 

Do you have very strong attention to detail and experience gained in a regulated manufacturing, packaging or warehouse environment? A new role has arisen with a leading Pharmaceutical company in Worthing, for an Inspection, Labelling and Packaging Technician who can help during a very busy period. This is a temporary role for 12 months, to start in late February / early March, due to the company going through a very busy period. You will work 7am-3pm, apart from late Summer / early Autumn when you will be required to work until around 4.30pm (exact hours will be determined nearer the time).

The Company

A pioneering Worthing-based Pharmaceutical company who manufacture and distribute life-changing drugs to patients across Europe and other territories around the world. They specialise in making vaccines for people who suffer from debilitating conditions and they have an excellent reputation as a local employer. The company is well known its positive and supportive working environment.

The Role

Working in a busy Production and Packaging environment, you will perform a range of routine duties based around the Inspection, Labelling and Packaging of liquid vaccines that have been put into pre-loaded syringes or vials. This requires the highest possible attention to detail because you will check for defects, discolouration and anything else that might require investigation. You will manually process labels for individual orders and ensure that the correct labels are put on each pack, which requires lots of cross-checking of order numbers and batch codes. 

The environment is controlled by strict GMP regulations, so you will have to wear overalls, hair net and shoe covers. Make-up and jewellery will not be permitted in the clean room, as is standard within any Pharmaceutical production or laboratory environment.

You will be paid a £26,000salary (rising to £16,000 once you have completed your training, which could be within the first 6 months) and will be treated as a permanent employee, not a temp. You will work in a friendly team in the company`s main production facility, which is a pleasant, modern setting. The company offers kitchen facilities and free parking.

Experience

We are looking for candidates with some experience in a Production, Labelling, Packaging or Warehouse environment, following strict regulations such as GMP or ISO. Above all else, we want people who work hard at all times and who offer excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), good literacy and numeracy, patience, an honest and likeable manner and strong attention to detail.

Please note that colourblind candidates cannot be considered due to the colour-coding system used when you check and label the vials of vaccine.

Candidates will regrettably not be considered if they have booked excessive holiday during the period of August – December. Occasional days off will be permitted, but not several days in one block.
