Careers

Attention: It has come to our attention that there have been several phishing attempts using emails or texts sent by individuals posing as GW Pharmaceuticals or Greenwich Biosciences recruiters, and referencing fake GW Pharmaceuticals or Greenwich Biosciences job postings. We have no connection to these individuals and do not know their true identity. Please be aware that all official Greenwich Biosciences communications come from an email address ending in “greenwichbiosciences.com’ or “gwpharm.com”. We will never send a job offer without first receiving a completed application and conducting an in-person interview.

Recruitment Agencies and Search Firms

GW Pharmaceuticals does not accept speculative or unsolicited CVs from agencies. All speculative or unsolicited CVs submitted without an agreement in place will be considered GW Pharmaceuticals' property and will not obligate us to pay a referral fee. A preferred supplier list is operated in the UK.

Right to Work in the UK

The UK Government has taken steps to reduce net migration to the UK by limiting the number of overseas workers from outside the EEA coming to the UK for employment. Consequently, whilst we are able to consider applications from overseas workers from outside the EEA (who require a Tier 2 General Visa) we can only employ them if we can provide evidence that there are no other suitable candidates available from inside the EEA. Therefore all Non-UK/EEA nationals’ applications will be kept on hold until we have pursued all candidates who currently have the right to work in the UK.
