“The trainee operator programme has helped me adjust to a full-time working environment after just leaving school. Working on the production floor has given me a greater insight into how the company works. My colleagues have been very helpful in my first 6 months, from management right down to operators. I have enjoyed the culture within Almac. Everyone works hard, but also makes time for you if you need it. I have enjoyed my time working in the blistering rooms and learning more about how they operate.”

“The training and mentorship has been good throughout my time so far at Almac. I have been able to learn and understand a vast amount through SOPs, Grade2/3s, line management conversations and by watching how each process works. I have enjoyed learning and understanding how the packaging machines work. Having so many moving and working parts has intrigued me to watch and learn as much as possible whenever I have the chance.”

“The best thing about my job is the people around me. The manufacturing team is great – everyone always helps each other out, which has helped me settle quickly into my role.  I enjoy the variety of operations – every day is different and I am always learning new skills and receiving further training.   I enjoy the challenges and the responsibility that comes with the role and it is very satisfying knowing I am contributing to improving patient health every day.”

“The best thing about my job is having that feeling of job security. Senior management keep us all informed quarterly throughout the year on how the business is continually growing and improving. My contribution to Almac is very important as I make sure the products in the process room I am responsible for are kept to a very high standard, ensuring no defective products leave the room. It’s a great feeling knowing you have helped manufacture these life- changing, high quality pharmaceutical products for patients who need them. “
