As part of our Group, Quantum Pharmaceutical is the UK’s leading manufacturer and supplier of unlicensed medicines and hard-to-source products. With over 500 professionals across various disciplines—including pharmacists, technicians, IT, HR, procurement, warehouse, and customer service—we are one of the fastest-growing healthcare companies in the UK.

- Assist with stock control activities, including routine stock counts
- Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the despatch area in line with cleaning schedules
- Comply with all relevant SOPs, company policies, GMP/GDP standards, and documentation requirements
- Maintain up‑to‑date training and actively contribute to continuous improvement and team support
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
