Randox Role Models
Randox Role Models
Providing young women with positive role models is crucial if we are to inspire them to take up a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
That’s why we’re sharing the stories and experiences of our own female scientists, software developers, engineers and mathematicians, and those of STEMinists from other key employers and organisations within Northern Ireland.
We hope that we by sharing their experiences we can encourage young women across the country to truly consider a career in STEM.

Celebrating women in STEM
The Randox STEM Challenge is aimed at tackling the gender divide and skills gap in the science, technology, engineering and maths industry. On average in the UK women make up just 9% of the engineering workforce. Though Randox is bucking the trend with almost 16% of female engineers, it is still keen to challenge itself to encourage more women to view it as a viable career option.

At Randox we have launched a new returnship scheme which is being supported by the NI Chamber of Commerce. The six-month programme is designed for people who have had a break of two years or more. It will challenge society’s misconceptions surrounding career breaks and support both men and women in restarting their careers.
Providing young women with positive role models is crucial if we are to inspire them to take up a career in science, technology, engineering or maths. That's why Randox has teamed up with other key employers and organisations within Northern Ireland to celebrate the work of STEMinists across the country and share their stories.
Over 50 students from Northern Ireland took part in the first annual ‘STEM Challenge’ hosted at the Randox Science Park. The event, held on International Women in Engineering Day, rounded off a week during which global diagnostics company Randox unveiled a number of initiatives to celebrate and promote women in STEM.
Randox Returners
At Randox, we value talent, hard work and ambition. That comes in many packages – not all are conventional.
We know that re-joining the workforce can be daunting. That’s why we’ve developed Randox Returners, to support professional women and men restarting their careers.
The six-month programme is designed for people who have had a break of two years or more. You will have a comprehensive induction and be introduced to a dedicated mentor who will help you transition back into the work environment.
You’ll join a department where you can work on real projects, using your knowledge and experience. You’ll have the opportunity to upgrade your skills with in-house training. During the programme, we will help you to overcome challenges you may face, such as flexible working where possible including part-time work. At the end, there may be the option of joining the team on a permanent basis depending on your performance.
