Cutting through silos across a range of drug development capabilities, we help biotech and pharma customers save precious time and money in getting drugs to patients.

People join Quotient Sciences because we are a respected member of the drug development community that’s focused on innovation and are driven by an unswerving belief that ideas need to become solutions, and molecules need to become cures, fast. Because humanity needs solutions, fast.

The Role

Are you looking for a new challenge? Would you like to work in clinical research?

Quotient Sciences have a full-time opportunity available for a Sample Processing Technician. This role is based at the clinical research unit at the site in Nottingham.

Healthy volunteers are taking part in clinical trials in the clinical research unit. Your role is to work closely with the clinical staff by handling a large volume of biological samples (typically blood, urine and feces) which are taken from the volunteers on clinical trials.

Sample analysis is not carried out at Quotient, therefore you will be responsible for the reconciliation of all samples that enter the lab and manage the shipment of these samples to 3rd parties who will conduct the analysis offsite.

This role involves shift and weekend work.

The Candidate

This is an entry-level role. Full training is provided. A Life Science degree/qualification is desirable. You must have the ability to work at pace, to tight deadlines, along with excellent attention to detail.

Application Requirements

When applying for a position with Quotient Sciences, to be able to work in our organisation you must be aged 18 years or over and not have been debarred by the FDA. If you indicate you are under the age of 18 or have been debarred, then your application will be automatically declined.

We strive to create a diverse Quotient workforce and develop a workplace culture that provides a sense of acceptance for every person within our organisation.
