Our Compounding TPN team in Thetford is recruiting for Production Technicians to join the team. You will be manufacturing life-saving nutrition that is sent directly to patients in their homes and hospitals all over the world.

Clinical nutrition can make all the difference to a patient who needs to regain and maintain their health.

Today, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of products for acute and chronic patients who are unable to take adequate oral or enteral nutrition or require supplemental nutrition. Our department is growing due to demand and therefore we are looking for dedicated Production Technicians who are keen to join us in helping save and sustain the lives of our patients.
