Apprenticeships are up for grabs with the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline at its sites in Brentford and Stockley Park, Uxbridge .

The company is looking to recruit about 80 apprentices across the UK and Ireland.

The positions available include three in the supply chain and IT departments at its global headquarters in Brentford's Great West Road, and four in finance at its offices in Stockley Park.

Successful applicants will gain on-the-job experience as well as studying towards a nationally recognised qualification. They will also receive what the company described as a "competitive" base salary.

GSK said all apprentices who completed the programme in 2015 went on to earn a full-time role with the organisation.

Stephen Stewart, head of apprenticeships at GSK, said: "We have had some fantastic apprentices come through the programme since it was launched in 2011 and I look forward to welcoming the next generation of talent."

Applications are now open for the apprenticeship scheme, and more information is available at www.gsk.com/apprenticehips or GSK Apprenticeships
