Industrial placements give students the opportunity to gain professional development and hands on experience, whilst working at the same time.
Binding Site’s placement scheme offers positions throughout the business but predominantly in the laboratory environment, which includes Research and Development. Many placements are also offered permanent positions, on completion of their graduation, and go on to have successful careers at Binding Site.
To be considered for a placement position, applicants must be in their 2nd year of university and working towards a graduate degree.
We hope that our employees enjoy a long and happy career here at Binding Site and the Learning Academy’s team of specialists are passionate about supporting their continuous development.
We have a published suite of resources that can be accessed at the touch of a button, putting our staff in the driving seat of their own learning journey with access to state of the art training rooms on site at our Head Office.
In addition to the initial induction programme, the Learning Academy team co-ordinate & deliver an array of courses that focus on personal effectiveness and leadership skills, for example our Train the Trainer course, Presentation Skills workshops and our in-house Supervisor Development Programme. We also provide systemic training such as our ERP system, Office 365 and Skype for Business.
Don't take our word for it - here's what Binding Site employees say about working for us
"I completed an Industrial placement year at The Binding Site 5 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year and learnt both technical and personal skills along the way. I was offered a position back at The Binding Site following the completion of my degree and have now been back at TBS ever since. I am now managing a team within the Research and Development Department, which comes with both its learning opportunities and challenges but more importantly its rewards. I enjoy working at TBS, mainly due to the people, the positive working environment, the development opportunities I have had and the varied and challenging nature of my role" Rachael Heeley, Manager - Raw Material Development
I started working at The Binding Site almost 12 years ago after finishing a Biochemistry BSc at the University of Birmingham. I was employed as a Research Scientist within the R&D department; my career grew within R&D and after 10 years I was a Research Team Leader working on the development and validation of new IVD tests, managing a group of scientists, technicians and placement students. During those 10 years it feels as if I have grown and matured at the same time as The Binding Site has! I have been part of building moves, regulatory audits, change in company owners, introduction of new instruments and products and also the implementation of a group wide ERP system. Being involved in the ERP project equipped me with additional skills that meant I could apply for a role of a Business Analyst within the Business Systems team, this has been a big change in my career where I have moved away from R&D projects and work on a variety of different business improvement projects mainly utilising our ERP system, IFS. The Binding Site has given me so many opportunities to build my career and I look forward to working together for more years to come! Amrit Kaur, Business Analyst
After completing my A-levels, I started working in the Clinical Chemistry team. I worked 4 days a week at The Binding Site, and spent 1 day at college studying for a level 3 BTEC diploma in applied science.
I take part in the testing and analysis of samples for different clinical studies. I have been trained to use different analysers in order to test samples. I have had a lot of support from my team with both my college course and also with my training.
After I completed my apprenticeship, and I was offered a permanent role within my team as a laboratory assistant, which I accepted. I am still thoroughly enjoying working at The Binding Site. Amy Rollins, Laboratory Assistant
