Working here - create, solve, challenge and improve


We have a passion for innovation and discovery, so working here means you will have the freedom to create, solve, challenge and improve.

We understand that success depends on providing our people with an environment in which they can thrive. And that's just what we're doing. It's an approach that makes our people a priority.

Our UK staff work in variety of locations, each with its own clear sense of purpose and identity but with a common pride in the company's success.

Our two centres of excellence for Research and Development, Alderley Park, Cheshire and Charnwood, Leicestershire, offer state-of-the-art facilities for scientific and commercial development of new products.  In addition our major manufacturing and operations facilities in Macclesfield, Cheshire and Avlon, near Bristol, both enjoy superb quality of life locations close to a wide range of urban and recreational opportunities.

While London remains the global HQ for AstraZeneca worldwide, our UK sales and marketing headquarters is based near Luton, Bedfordshire in a new and vibrant high-tech office facility.

But working here is much more than just a great location or excellent facilities. By providing such arrangements as our progressive flexible working practices, and health and leisure facilities, we aim to create a fulfilling and rewarding place for you to work.

And beyond the strength and creativity that comes from the diversity of our 10,000 UK staff, trust and openness, leadership and continuous innovation are the common values that make working here an energising place to be.
