Job Description
An exciting short-term opportunity for a Scientist to join a growing life sciences organisation supporting a critical FDA study. This is a hands-on, lab-based role requiring precision, strong scientific fundamentals and excellent attention to detail. You will be working within an established lab team, contributing directly to internal testing, analysis and data generation.
This role is offered as a 3-month fixed term contract and will suit someone immediately available, potentially between roles, who is keen to apply their lab experience in a fast-paced and highly regulated environment. While there is a chance the role could become permanent, there are no guarantees.

Location: Fully onsite, Monday to Friday. Given the 3-month duration, this role is best suited to candidates who are already locally based or within an easy daily commute.

Salary: Circa £30,000 per annum, pro rata.

* Previous experience working in a laboratory environment
* Likely to hold a science-related degree
* Very high attention to detail, working with samples and data
* Happy working onsite 5 days a week in a lab and manufacturing setting
* Strong numerical skills
* Ability to manage multiple tasks effectively
* Enjoys working as part of a close-knit team
* Clear, confident communication skills
* Must have the right to work full time in the UK for the duration of the study
Responsibilities for Scientist:
* Supporting an internal FDA study through hands-on lab work
* Running laboratory tests and experiments
* Preparing and managing drug dilutions
* Reading cartridges and accurately capturing data
* Following strict lab protocols and quality standards
* Contributing to the overall success of the study through reliable, accurate output
* Collaborating closely with other scientists and lab technicians
What the role offers:
* Short-term scientific role with meaningful regulatory impact
* Exposure to FDA study processes and internal validation
* Collaborative and supportive lab team environment
* Strong opportunity for immediate hands-on lab contribution
