Job Title: IMA Laboratory Technician
Location: Witney, Oxfordshire
Start your career in science with hands-on experience in a real lab environment.
About Us:
At Abbott Diabetes Care in Witney, we help people manage diabetes through innovative technologies, including our FreeStyle Libre systems and blood glucose testing products.
The Incoming Materials Analysis (IMA) team is growing and looking for enthusiastic individuals who are ready to start their career in a laboratory environment.
No degree needed—just a passion for science and a willingness to learn.
What You’ll Do:
- Support our Lab Teams: Learn how to use a variety of laboratory instruments to test incoming materials while working alongside experienced laboratory technicians.
- Attention to Detail: Ensure documentation is completed accurately and carefully. As part of Quality Control, our team plays a vital role in ensuring materials meet the required standards before entering the manufacturing process.
- Keep Things Tidy and Ready: Clean, maintain, and prepare laboratory equipment and materials while following Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards.
- Work with other teams: Take part in cross-functional projects and activities, working closely with different departments to support both new and existing materials.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For:
- You’ve finished your GCSEs (or equivalent), especially in Maths and English.
- You’re interested in science and how things work.
- You’re organised, have good attention to detail, reliable, and keen to learn.
- Any experience in a lab or practical setting is a bonus—but not essential.
WHAT WE OFFER:
At Abbott, you'll be part of a dynamic team that is making a real difference in diabetes care. You'll have the opportunity to work with incoming materials that contribute to both our sensor and blood glucose testing products.
We actively encourage continuous improvement and welcome new ideas from all team members.
As you'd expect from an innovative global healthcare company, we offer an excellent starting salary and a competitive range of benefits including a defined contribution pension scheme, share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme. Here at Witney, we also like to help our employees live life to the fullest, and therefore we offer a range of optional initiatives for you to get involved in, including onsite allotments, bee keeping, yoga and more!
