AstraZeneca

About us

The UK is one of the major hubs of AstraZeneca - one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies

Our success is based on a commitment to discovery, finding new ideas that are inspired by life and which in turn help to inspire the lives of our stakeholders.

We discover new medicines that are designed to improve the health and quality of life of patients around the world - medicines which are innovative, effective and which offer added benefits such as reduced side effects or better ways of taking the treatment.

At AstraZeneca, innovation is about more than just research. We aim to stimulate continued creativity throughout our organisation by maintaining a culture in which our people feel valued, energised and rewarded for their ideas and contribution to our success - ideas which can make a difference in all aspects of our business. And we support and encourage our people in discovering their own potential, through excellent learning and development opportunities that are available to them throughout their careers.

We are committed to continued achievement in all of these areas to ensure a healthy future for our business so that we can continue to help improve the lives of, and add value for, all those who benefit from it.

Your development - helping you reach your potential

 

An award-winning people development environment - that's what we offer. With professional development opportunities like ours, your ideas and aspirations can become a reality.

Our 'People Development Framework' provides an integrated range of flexible training options and learning ideas. From day one induction, to personal mentoring, to management and global leadership programmes, we provide the resources you need to reach your full potential.

We also encourage people to form support networks and to use our mentoring schemes to share knowledge and experience, to the benefit of their personal development and to enhance individual and team contribution.

Our 'Performance Management' Process will focus on agreeing a personal plan between you and your manager, so that from your early days you can enjoy professional feedback and guidance on how to develop yourself.

 

Our two centres of excellence for Research and Development, Alderley Park, Cheshire and Charnwood, Leicestershire, offer state-of-the-art facilities for scientific and commercial development of new products. In addition our major manufacturing and operations facilities in Macclesfield, Cheshire and Avlon, near Bristol, both enjoy superb quality of life locations close to a wide range of urban and recreational opportunities.

While London remains the global HQ for AstraZeneca worldwide, our UK sales and marketing headquarters is based near Luton, Bedfordshire in a new and vibrant high-tech office facility.

But working here is much more than just a great location or excellent facilities. By providing such arrangements as our progressive flexible working practices, and health and leisure facilities, we aim to create a fulfilling and rewarding place for you to work.

Benefits and Rewards

 

We aim to be an innovative leader in all we do and the development of our competitive and flexible reward programme is no exception. We were one of the first UK companies to offer our employees' improved choice and greater flexibility in the delivery of their reward and benefits package.

As well as offering you choice and flexibility, we also believe in recognising your contribution, with a shares and cash bonus plan, which blends overall company performance, with team and individual success.

Our reward programme puts you in the driving seat and with 'AZ Advantage', our flexible benefits programme, you'll have the opportunity to determine the way your package is provided.

You can hand pick your own individual mix of 'reward options' to best suit your needs and particular circumstances. Beyond some core benefits, the choice and variety of reward options are considerable, from numerous lifestyle benefits to comprehensive health and financial plans.
