Manufacturing Support Assistant - Pharmaceutical
ITH Pharma specialises in the provision of Parenteral Nutrition, Chemotherapy and CIVAS. Our team provides flexible services with batch and bespoke items for adults, paediatrics and neonates to both NHS and Private Hospitals. The successful candidate will be joining a forward-thinking organisation where sharing ideas and developing our people is how we have built our success.
As a Manufacturing Support Assistant, you will support processes across the entire pharmaceutical product lifecycle in relation to product disinfection from the beginning to the end of the manufacturing process, stock provision within pre-production and packaging of medicines in our post-production area.
Key tasks include:
- Disinfection and assembly of raw materials.
- Identifying and reporting any defects in equipment and materials.
- Integrity and stock content checks.
- Stock level monitoring and rotation.
- Adhere to all SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures).
- Work to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
- Ensure all documentation is completed in line with strict process procedures.
- Maintaining strict hygiene in all support areas to GMP standards.
The Person - Skills and Qualities Required
Applicants must be logical and able to work systematically in a consistent way, ideally having demonstrated this ability in a fast-paced working environment.
In addition, you will need good oral and written communication skills in English, be methodical in approach, able to demonstrate close attention to detail, and able to concentrate for long periods of time. An appreciation of customer needs and experience working as part of a busy team to meet tight deadlines without losing focus is also essential.
A background in a busy production or warehouse role is desirable but by no means essential.
Hours of work are 9:30 - 18:00, Monday to Friday with 45 minutes for lunch. There is also a requirement to work some contracted Saturdays throughout the year. Due to the line of work and patients awaiting treatments, there may be occasions where you will stay beyond the contracted finish time to complete the work orders for the day. Whether that is a supply of Parenteral Nutrition or Chemotherapy, it is vital for patients to receive this on the day it is required.
