The Norwich Bioscience Institutes Partnership (NBIP) has an exciting opportunity for a Biological Safety Compliance Manager to join their busy HSEQ team. The HSEQ team supports the John Innes Centre, Earlham Institute, Quadram Institute, The Sainsbury Laboratory, and the Partnership teams.
Background:
The Norwich Bioscience Institutes are a cluster of internationally renowned research organisations, working to tackle major challenges of the 21st Century – the sustainability of our environment, our food supplies and healthy ageing.
The NBI Partnership provides high quality, non-scientific support services for the diverse community of staff, students and visiting workers at the Institutes (the Earlham Institute, John Innes Centre, The Sainsbury Laboratory and Quadram Institute Bioscience) and for the NBI Partnership.
Based on the Norwich Research Park amongst 230 hectares of parkland, you will be joining a committed, professional and welcoming team. In addition, you will enjoy a competitive salary and annual leave, our defined contribution pension scheme, excellent recreational facilities and a range of other employee benefits.
The role:
This role is ideal for scientists who would like to transition from research to site-wide operational responsibilities, enabling the application of scientific expertise to:
• Ensure biological safety compliance across JIC
• Train personnel on safe laboratory practices
• Provide authoritative advice on biological safety
The post-holder will provide expert oversight of biological safety across the John Innes Centre and NGI operations, ensure compliance with GMO and Plant Health Licence (PHL) regulations, support new and refurbished facility start-ups, and advise teams on safe research practices.
In this role you will be:
• Developing and delivering biological safety training
• Contributing to the creation of new compliance tools within the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) system
• Investigating biological safety-related incidents
• Providing authoritative guidance on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) under the Contained Use Regulations 2014 and Deliberate Release Regulations 2002 and Plant Health Licence (PHL) work under Defra.
The ideal candidate:
Candidates should have an MSc or PhD in Biology subject and have good knowledge and understanding of biological safety legislation and regulations, including GMO and PHL requirements. Candidates should have experience in laboratory work and must be self-motivated, enjoy working in a team, and act as a role model.
The post-holder will promote a healthy and safe working environment and encourage good biological safety practices in line with legislation and best practice. The role requires both formal and informal leadership and influencing skills, and training support can be provided to develop the biological safety and incident investigation aspects of the role if required.
Additional information:
Salary on appointment will be within the range £45,450 to £56,750 per annum depending on qualifications and experience. This is a full-time post for a contract of 36 months.
