Job Title: Lab Support Manager
Contract: Permanent
Type of Employment: Full Time
Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Salary: £40,000 - 42,000 per annum
Location: GSK, Shewalton Road, Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland, KA11 5AP
Are you an experienced laboratory professional with a passion for leadership, analytical instrumentation, and operational excellence?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced pharmaceutical environment where no two days are the same?
We're looking for a hands-on Laboratory Support Manager to lead a team delivering critical laboratory support services while maintaining strong technical involvement with analytical instrumentation, including HPLC, GC and associated laboratory systems.
This is not a desk-based management role. We're looking for a leader who enjoys being visible in the laboratory, supporting their team, troubleshooting technical issues, engaging with customers, and ensuring laboratories remain safe, compliant, and operationally excellent.
Due to the nature of the environment anyone with a Penicillin allergy will not be considered for the role.
As Laboratory Support Manager, you will lead a multidisciplinary team providing laboratory instrument support and technical laboratory services within a highly regulated pharmaceutical environment. You'll be responsible for ensuring laboratory operations run smoothly while maintaining the highest standards of quality, compliance, safety and customer service.
You'll combine strategic leadership with practical technical expertise, helping to drive continuous improvement whilst remaining capable of providing direct laboratory support whenever required.
Working closely with scientists, quality teams, engineering teams and client stakeholders, you'll play a key role in enabling successful laboratory operations and supporting critical product release activities.
You'll be a natural leader who enjoys coaching and developing people, but you're equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and supporting technical laboratory activities when required.
You'll have the credibility that comes from real laboratory experience, particularly with HPLC and GC systems, and the leadership skills to inspire a team to deliver exceptional service
