We are the first testing service in the UK to adopt a model of best practice that combines detailed forensic analysis with substance abuse test results.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Lab Analyst to join our team.

Key Responsibilities

  • To efficiently process samples for analytical testing using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS, working in line with FTS procedures and the ISO17025 Standard.
  • Ensure equipment is sufficiently maintained.
  • To process analytical data from LC-MS/MS instrumentation to provide accurate and reliable results to the technical support and report writing teams.
  • To enter data into a bespoke laboratory software system at the laboratory result stage of the analytical process.
  • Maintain a clean, tidy and safe working environment.

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.
