Our work is governed by the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and is driven by a strong commitment to animal welfare and scientific excellence.

We are looking for a Senior Technician (Grade 5) to support the delivery of high-quality animal care and technical services within our facilities.

The postholder will be an experienced member of the team, responsible for supporting the day-to-day running of the facility and ensuring that animal care is delivered in accordance with regulatory and institutional standards.
