You are a part-qualified/finalist Patent Attorney with a specialism in Pharmaceuticals subject matter, looking for a move to a firm that can offer greater visibility with clients and a wider scope of technology too. You should have already passed the UK Foundation examinations and be working towards qualification as a European and UK Qualified Patent Attorney.


You’re confident in handling core drafting, prosecution, and contentious areas of IP, and you possess an appreciation of how IP and regulatory data protection affect the life cycle of a product. Possessing an innate interest in the commercial aspects of business as well as the IP profession enables you to forge long-standing and committed relationships with clients.


Moreover, you are motivated and confident with long-term career aspirations. If you have a genuine interest in business development, marketing, and networking, then this firm can provide the support and infrastructure to exceed your professional expectations. You will get involved with client pitches and be integral to the growth of the team, and be exposed to a broad range of organic chemistry and pharmaceutical subject matter. The team protects research on ground-breaking therapeutics and their delivery, as well as exciting technologies in the fields of nanotechnology, cleantech, petrochemicals, and polymer chemistry. There is plenty of scope to work and engage on a variety of subject matter.


This award-winning IP firm is regarded as an employer of choice, maintaining an exemplary reputation for retention and career opportunities. Industry directories consistently rank them as a Top Tier firm.


They are passionate about diversity and inclusion in the workplace; it’s vital to their business and how they approach challenges differently by offering clients creative and original solutions.

Quantum Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the quantum computing jobs market in the UK is shifting from hype to harder-edged reality. The wildest forecasts have softened, some early-stage start-ups have pivoted or been acquired, and investors are more selective. At the same time, governments, big tech, defence, finance and pharma still see quantum as strategically important – especially in algorithms, quantum-safe cryptography, optimisation and materials simulation. The result: fewer “blue-sky” roles with no clear roadmap, and more demand for quantum talent that can plug into real programmes, real products and real timelines. Whether you’re a quantum job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams across hardware, software, theory or adjacent fields, understanding the key quantum computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.
