About the role

Hence, security and confidentiality are key and you should be familiar with data management within the context of a secure environment. You will be organised and efficient and able to work independently as well as in a team supporting laboratory analysts with IT problems and the administrative team with sample registration as necessary.

The job will require attention to detail and a willingness to be flexible since no day is the same in the anti-doping laboratory.

We would like to hear from you if you are up to the challenge.
