Description
What if your Pharmacy expertise was the reason a new drug reached patients faster?
Fortrea's Clinical Research Unit in Leeds is a purpose-built 65,000 ft² Phase I facility where life-saving medicines begin their journey.
Here, a modern clinic, laboratory, and cGMP research pharmacy sit under one roof, just 7 minutes from the train station.
We are growing our Clinical Research Pharmacy team and hiring Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacy Technical Officers to support first-in-human and early clinical trials.
This is a permanent, full-time role, working 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with very occasional weekend work (typically under 4 hours, compensated with flexi time or overtime).
You will work in a Phase I clinical research pharmacy, preparing investigational medicines just steps away from the participants receiving them.
Every day, your work supports one critical question: 'Will this new medicine be safe?'

- Performing thorough maintenance and control of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) / Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Pharmacy Inventory Management records, ensuring the continued supply of any pharmacy stock items.
- Supporting reception, use, supply, storage, packaging and disposition of API and IMP.
Requirements
- Registered Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council in the UK,
- Pharmacy Technical Officer qualified to NVQ Level 2.
- For both roles, you bring a proven track record of working in a fast-paced and demanding hospital or industrial pharmacy setting, AND/OR have experience working in cGMP, GCP and/or GLP settings.
- A plus: hands-on experience in aseptic production / clean rooms.
- If you are not yet GPhC registered but have relevant experience, we will support your registration.
