Black Pharma

Black Pharma is a Social Enterprise which has a vision to see a greater representation of black professionals across all business levels in the Pharmaceutical industry. We aim to facilitate industry access and professional development for talented black professionals to be successful in Pharma. Research has shown that only 7.3% of board directors on UK life science companies are racial minorities, and just 3% of employees in the average US biotech company are black. Pharma needs more diversity. We work to facilitate access to the industry through apprenticeships, student industry placements, graduate schemes/roles, entry-level roles and experienced roles. We do this by advising on available opportunities across the industry, as well as securing work experience and job opportunities with our Partners. In addition, we provide practical support with job applications, CVs and interview preparation, to ensure that talented black individuals are well positioned for success. At Black Pharma we are committed to ensuring that black professionals not only gain access to the industry, but that they are also well-equipped to successfully progress in their career. We do this by supporting career development through professional mentoring, consultations, webinars and trainings. Our mission is to ensure that every black professional has an equal opportunity to maximise their potential and make a positive impact.
