Why GSK?

Uniting science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together.

GSK is a global biopharma company with a special purpose – to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together – so we can positively impact the health of billions of people and deliver stronger, more sustainable shareholder returns – as an organisation where people can thrive. We prevent and treat disease with vaccines, specialty and general medicines. We focus on the science of the immune system and the use of new platform and data technologies, investing in four core therapeutic areas (infectious diseases, HIV, respiratory/ immunology and oncology).

Our success absolutely depends on our people. While getting ahead of disease together is about our ambition for patients and shareholders, it’s also about making GSK a place where people can thrive. We want GSK to be a place where people feel inspired, encouraged and challenged to be the best they can be. A place where they can be themselves – feeling welcome, valued, and included. Where they can keep growing and look after their wellbeing. So, if you share our ambition, join us at this exciting moment in our journey to get Ahead Together.

Ensuring the health, wellbeing and safety of all our employees and the community we work with is of paramount importance.  With this in mind GSK require all New Zealand employees not otherwise covered by a Government Vaccination mandate to be vaccinated against COVID19.

The only exceptions to this are for those with a recognised medical contraindication.  Please ask your recruitment team member about this if this applies to you.

In some instances, employees are required to receive a booster to perform their role either through Government mandates or if the scope of their role requires an employee to visit institutions where boosters are required.

Vaccination must be undertaken on the advice of an accredited health practitioner authorised to administer vaccinations.
