Values are important to us:
“I started working at Vernalis in 2020 as a Lab Technician and realised immediately how great it is to work at Vernalis. There is a friendly atmosphere, and everyone gets along with one another. A lot of trust is put on each individual and freedom is given which I believe is important for a research company to enable innovation.
Vernalis are a very supportive employer, only a month after joining Vernalis, I was enrolled onto a level 4 apprenticeship in Chemistry, dedicating a day out of my working week for studies. Vernalis have also offered me the flexibility of working a compressed 4 day working week to work around my family life.”
“Having worked in a small biotech with a high turnover I wanted to work in a more stable environment but where it is still possible to know all your colleagues by name. Vernalis turned out to be that place. The minimal turnover is clearly evident in the capability and knowledge of the company. I especially appreciate the opportunities for professional growth and the interdisciplinary environment allows for diverse perspectives. Vernalis fosters a culture that values forging strong collaborations and creating a positive work atmosphere. It’s a place where I’ve found valuable experiences in the realm of drug development but also colleagues to have a laugh with.”
My time at Vernalis has been fantastic. While I hesitate to compare it to my previous experiences, as each has contributed to my journey in its own way, it’s undeniable that this chapter has been marked by unparalleled growth, opportunity, and support. I’m grateful for the chance to be part of a company that not only values its employees but also actively empowers them to reach their fullest potential.
“Having been a part of the Vernalis team for 12 years, I have been provided with numerous opportunities for growth and development, allowing me to expand my skills and knowledge within the business.
From starting out as a Purchasing admin support, I have been able to progress to the role of Facilities and Purchasing Manager, a testament to the support and encouragement I have received from Vernalis.
I am happy to be a part of a team that values its employees and prioritises their professional development. Vernalis has not only provided me with a platform to succeed but has also empowered me to take on new challenges and explore new horizons within the business.”
