Join Somerset Scientific Services and play a hands-on role in protecting public health and the environment across Somerset.

Support environmental, water and gas sampling activities across a wide range of locations, ensuring accurate and safe collection of samples.
Assist with laboratory operations, including sample preparation, testing processes, equipment preparation and maintaining accurate records.
Maintain laboratory and operational systems that support the tracking, processing and reporting of scientific samples.
Contribute to the planning and coordination of site visits, operational documentation and health and safety processes.
Support the delivery of scientific services for both Council services and external clients, helping to ensure regulatory and contractual commitments are met.

What We’re Looking For – Knowledge, Experience and Skills

A background or interest in science, environmental monitoring or laboratory-based work.
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage a varied workload.
A practical and methodical approach, with attention to detail and a commitment to accurate record keeping.
The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a busy operational environment.
A willingness to work in outdoor environments as well as laboratory settings.
Ability to travel to a variety of locations across Somerset as required.

Additional Information

In return, we offer a rewarding career with Somerset Council, including:

28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
Permanent, full-time position working 37 hours per week.
Work base at Westpark, Wellington.
A comprehensive benefits package that supports your health, wellbeing, and career development.
The opportunity to work as part of a professional scientific service that makes a real difference to communities and the environment across Somerset.
