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 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.

Quantum Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Quantum Department

Quantum computing has shifted from lab curiosity to the next frontier of high-impact computing. Across the UK, universities, national labs, start-ups, and established tech and finance firms are building quantum teams to explore algorithms, design hardware, and deliver quantum-ready software. As momentum grows, so does the need for clear, robust team structures. Because quantum R&D spans physics, engineering, computer science, and product, ambiguity about who does what can slow progress, increase risk, and inflate costs. This guide maps the typical roles in a modern quantum computing department, how they collaborate across the research-to-product lifecycle, skills and backgrounds UK employers expect, indicative salary ranges, common pitfalls, and practical ways to structure teams that move fast without breaking science.
