Alex Black
Recruitment Director
Before joining S3 Science, I worked in Education Recruitment in London, recruiting teachers across the capital. This was the beginning of a new chapter after leaving school early to pursue a career which stimulated and intrigued me. I then had the opportunity to join S3 Science, and go into a completely different industry that is making a huge difference. I jumped at the chance and love every minute of what I do.
I am an avid West Ham supporter, which involves a lot of heartache and frustration. I put myself through the pain of watching them on a weekly basis!
Ever since joining S3 Science, I haven’t looked back. The opportunity to work in an industry that is out fighting cancer is a very rewarding experience, one of which I am proud to be a part of. I love telling people about the industry and the amazing work that goes on.
My role at S3 Science is as Recruitment Consultant. I specialise in finding the best Life Science’s professionals out there, for roles with clients across the UK. I offer advice on getting into the industry and the amazing career progression available.

Hannah Schembri
Recruitment Consultant
Before joining S3 Science:
I trained at Graham Webb International as a Hairstylist. After training for 3 years and with the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt the time was right for a career change. I wanted to do something worthwhile and that made me feel good.
With training, I have been successfully promoted from a Trainee Candidate Recruiter to a fully-fledged, Recruitment Consultant and am absolutely loving my work!
My role is to work alongside companies and candidates to successfully identify the right talent for each organisation. I work closely with my candidates by getting to know them, understanding what they are looking for and hope to facilitate their dream move! I do this by working with my clients to identify their recruitment needs that will help their teams excel. I’m here to help make the recruitment process as easy as possible.
I take so much pride from the industry I work in, being part of the Life Sciences industry means I can be involved in identifying the talent that makes a real difference in saving lives. I get to work with the fantastic organisations that are at the forefront of research against horrible diseases such as Cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes to name a few.

Hello, I’m Kai, I work as a Recruitment Consultant here at S3. It’s my job to help both candidates find their dream roles and clients find their next superstar!

Katie Brook
ATDP and Recruitment Candidate Manager
My interest in the industry was inspired by my time as an Animal Technician at B&K Universal. After the business downsized I took redundancy and sought a career in recruitment where I could use my experience and knowledge of an industry I feel passionate about thus joining S3 Science.
I am what is known as the ‘cog’ of the company by keeping all administrative aspects of the business functioning.
Since joining in 2011 I have had the pleasure of developing my professional skill by having the opportunity to wear ‘different hats’. This allows my job to be completely varied day-to-day from making the initial calls to prospective jobseekers, to compiling contracts of employment, to organising recruitment days, chasing timesheets, making Yorkshire teas (!) and driving forward our presence in social media. Proudest moment/best achievement: Taking full hold of S3 Science’s social media and marketing presence. Generating interest and traffic to our new website by implementing techniques learnt from recent qualifications and courses kindly provided by S3 Science. Outside of work: I am a crazy tortoise lady... my pet ‘bondi’ (that’s him in the pic) wants for nothing, eating fresh pansies and having a huge enclosure in my home.
I have travelled the world and am looking to forward to going back to Australia. Email: katie@animaltechnician.org London office: 0203 9340166

Irene Tate
Payroll Assistant
Prior to joining S3 Science I worked as a HR Administrator for Benefits and Recruitment within the Insurance industry.
I am a South African but I have lived here for over 20 years.
My role within S3 Science is the payroll assistant. I look after the start to finish process with regards to payroll which include timesheets and expenses as well as invoicing.
If you have any queries with regards to temp payroll, I am your “go to” person! Outside of work: I am literally a “taxi driver” for my daughter.
I absolutely love animals and have had birds, hamsters, rats, cats and now two dogs that drive me crazy but I love them.
I love cooking and baking different things.
I’ve attempted growing my own fruit and vegetables. I amazed myself and grew loads of different things but had problems in the end with space because I planted way too many seeds… I didn’t have the heart to get rid of the plants. Email: irenet@s3science.com London office: 0203 9240166
