This apprenticeship represents a significant opportunity for someone who wishes to start a career in the sciences, or particularly the cosmetic industry.

What will I be doing as an apprentice? Ellipsis Brands is looking for a Chemical Laboratory Apprentice. This will be an important role in the business to support the development of new products and ensuring Quality Control procedures are met on time and to a high standard. The lab team is a nimble, dynamic, and friendly team that works primarily on the formulation and development of cosmetic products; however, the team also covers aspects of the Quality Assurance processes which will form a part of the Laboratory Apprentice duties.

What you'll be doing: Administration

Booking in new raw materials and ensuring these are risk assessed before use

Collation, filing and reporting of test results (stability/challenge/compatibility/user trials)

Collate and publish internal product paperwork to aid PIF (product information file) preparation

Manage and maintain paperwork ensuring all files are up to date

Laboratory

Small-scale bulk manufacture; up to 5kg manufacturing of cosmetic formulations for testing purposes

Maintaining stock levels of raw materials and consumables

Helping to ensure the lab is a clean, orderly, and purposeful environment

Quality control of raw materials and the associated paperwork (checking viscosity, smell, pH, appearance, etc)

Stability assessment and paperwork

What could the future look like? Our goal is to transform you into a fully competent member of the Ellipsis team, ideally open to accepting a full-time, permanent position within the team, with opportunities for exciting progression in the future.

Through 'on-the-job' training you'll have the opportunity to learn new skills to provide competency and responsibility in carrying out testing and to help develop your career and the business as a whole.

This apprenticeship can also help pave the way for further educational and professional advancement.

Skills, Knowledge, and Experience About you We're looking for someone who has a real can-do, positive attitude, is confident, motivated, and a real team player. The culture within this business is very important and Ellipsis is really looking for someone to add to this, to be accountable for their work and have a real interest in the business. You will be willing to help others and have a passion for growth. An interest in cosmetics is a bonus!

Every day will be different, and you'll have the opportunity to work closely with the team to succeed. You'll need to be a good communicator to speak up and to work together.

To succeed in this apprenticeship, you'll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator, and be hungry to learn!

Even if this doesn't sound

quite

like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role,

get in touch . We're always open to enthusiastic candidates!

So how does the apprenticeship work? At Tiro we're obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can't wait to have you on board.

Over 21 months, you'll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on 'off the job' training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments). Together this will count towards a Level 3 Laboratory Technician apprenticeship. You'll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Ellipsis Brands who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you'll need to succeed in your career.

Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you'll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.

The best part? You'll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!

Eligibility While we never want to hinder your job application process with obstacles, there are some minimum requirements you'll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government.

You'll need to be over 18+ , not be in full-time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years, and have the right to work in the UK. Driving license is preferred but not required.

If you don't quite meet these minimum requirements yet, let us know you're interested here and we'll get in touch to discuss this further with you.
