Laboratory Technicians are trusted to work safely, follow health and safety and quality procedures, and meet job requirements.

You will complete a Level 3 Apprenticeship through our trusted training provider.

The apprenticeship lasts approximately 24 months, and if successful, you will join our 2025 Apprenticeship Intake in September.

We support flexible working, offer private medical insurance, and provide 29 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase up to 2 additional weeks.


You’ve Applied – now what?

After submitting your application, our Talent Team will review it with the Hiring Manager and Training Providers to determine eligibility.
