Crop Health

We Are Recruiting!

The Plant Health diagnostics teams are recruiting a significant number of new roles to support the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs biosecurity activities. There will be an increase in pest and disease samples coming from Plant Health inspections once the UK has left the EU in 2021 and we are taking on a range of roles from junior/trainee diagnosticians to experienced senior scientists as well as new team managers. This is an exciting opportunity to join an innovative science organisation and contribute to the biosecurity of the UK. .
