s the recruitment cess involve?

Laboratory analyst
All GSK products and product enhancements start life
in a laboratory – whether that’s developing a new
treatment, improving the taste of a product like
Lucozade or testing the effects of a nutritional product
like Maximuscle. Our multi-skilled laboratory analyst
apprenticeships will equip you with the skills to tackle
a variety of scientific challenges covering histology
(the study of tissues), animal technology, investigative
preclinical toxicology and clinical chemistry.
During an R&D apprenticeship, you will learn about
animal husbandry which includes; care for the animals
in our facilities; calibration of equipment; processing
and analysis of blood and other biological samples;
and development of in-vitro testing systems.
On a manufacturing laboratory apprenticeship, you will
help ensure that our products meet strict specification
limits for content and uniformity. You will experience
everything from traditional wet chemistry techniques
used for testing raw materials, to the use of bespoke
automated equipment for the testing of finished
products. Some of your time will also be spent
working with other teams to get new products ready
for manufacturing on a large scale as we launch them
to market.
Supply chain apprentice
Making sure our products get to our patients and
customers when they need them is vital. As a supply
chain apprentice based at a manufacturing site or
in our head office, you will be involved in the
manufacturing planning process, as well as the delivery
of the finished goods. If you have well-developed
computer and organisational skills, combined with
a strong customer focus, join our dynamic supply
chain team.
What skills will I gain?
A GSK apprenticeship is not just about gaining a
vocational qualification. We see our apprenticeship
scheme as a means to develop the shapers and leaders
of our future.
So our aim will be to give you a thoroughly rounded
learning experience. As well as gaining practical levels
of experience within your chosen field, you will be
improving your presentation skills, developing your
project management skills and learning lean business
improvement techniques. There will also be the
opportunity to get involved with your local community,
helping in schools and undertaking charity work.
