• Make sure containers and sample kits are prepared, labelled and dispatched accurately and on time
• Monitor stock levels, order supplies and keep the workspace organised
• Help solve day-to-day problems, improve processes and maintain a positive team environment
• Ensure safe, efficient and high-quality ways of working

• Proven experience leading, supervising or coordinating a small team
• Confidence planning work, prioritising tasks and responding to changing demands
• A calm, practical approach to problem-solving
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
