I joined the Wellcome Sanger Institute in September 2022 on the Management Training Scheme.
As a Management Trainee, I rotated around different departments in the Institute spending 6 months in each placement. From this I gained a 360 degrees view and understanding of the Institute whilst developing my expertise and skills in specific areas.
My first rotation was within the Sanger Logistics Services team. They provide a wide range of services to the whole campus including being responsible for orders placed with Sanger Logistics and deliveries received to site, as well as portering to customers and managing equipment movement.
For my second rotation I was based in the Change Management Office. They provide support across the Institute in order to create an organisation and culture able to effectively flex and grow with the changing needs of science, our strategy and the world around us.
For my third rotation, I worked in the Grants and Change team in the Parasites and Microbes Programme. They provide grants and change projects support including cross PaM operational projects, grant application and active management, programme reporting – internal and external, programme financials internal and external, PaM tooling support (non-PIT) and project management framework and coaching.
After completing my third rotation, I moved into a Research Manager role within the Human Genetics & Generative and Synthetic Genomics programmes. We provide professional, executive project and research management support service to both programmes. Our team’s goal is to support the cutting-edge science of the programmes and facilitate the delivery of their research goals. In particular we offer grant management, financial monitoring and reporting, legal and research governance support and project management.
