Our Compounding team in Thetford is currently recruiting for a Production Technician to join a new, purpose built department. This is an investment into innovative technology to semi-automate our compounding process of penicillin and chemo-therapy to increase productivity, reduce elements of the strenuous nature of manual compounding and allow for additional growth to enable us to serve more patients products.
You will assist with all day-to-day tasks of preparation, manufacturing and inspection of compounding medicine. The Production Technician will provide support for all aspects of cleanroom production, including aseptic compounding, equipment utilisation, inventory control, environmental monitoring to ensure compliance with the Manufacturing Licence and Quality System requirements. This is a fantastic opportunity and we are looking forward to building an enthusiastic high performing team to make this new purpose built department a great success and an exemplar EMEA Compounding.
