Culture
Working at TFS
- Trust
- Quality
- Passion
- Flexibility
Big enough to matter. Small enough to move.
Your ideas are heard. Your impact is visible. And your career can move faster than in a large CRO. You work on global studies that bring new treatments to patients, in an organisation small enough that the person closest to the work is usually the person who decides.
Our values
Trust
Confidence, reliability and expectations met, with colleagues just as much as with sponsors.
Quality
In the data, the process and the conversation around them.
Passion
For the science, and for the people it is meant to reach.
Flexibility
Studies change course. Teams that expect it stay calm.
From our CEO
Working at TFS HealthScience means being part of a team united by purpose and driven by excellence. Every project and assignment is an opportunity to grow, collaborate, and contribute to research that truly makes a difference.
What makes us different
What changes when you join us
Most people here have worked at a large CRO before. Ask them what is different and you get the same four answers.
You move quickly
When something changes you get a decision, not a committee. Plans are rewritten and the study keeps moving.
You are heard
There are few layers between your idea and the person who can approve it, and your name stays on your work.
You choose how you work
Office, hybrid or remote, set by what your role needs and by the life that surrounds it.
You have room to grow
Your career moves because someone planned it with you, not because the organisation was restructured around you.
Recognition
Behind all four is something we always strive for: working sustainably, with relationships, careers and decisions built for the long term.
In 2026 EcoVadis awarded TFS HealthScience a Gold Medal for sustainability, placing us in the top 3% of the companies it rates.
EcoVadis compares us with more than 130,000 companies worldwide on the environment, ethics, sustainable procurement, and labour and human rights, which looks at how we treat our own people. In the past year we cut our total emissions by 17%, raised the share of our electricity from renewable sources from 62% to 99%, and had our near-term and net-zero targets validated by the SBTi.

Benefits and rewards
Benefits That Support Your Growth
Because great work starts with feeling valued and supported.
Competitive compensation
You are paid against your local market and reviewed on a set cycle, so you never have to ask.
Reviewed on a set cycle, not on request.
Health & well-being
Health cover, wellness support and leave that lets you actually switch off.
Cover follows local practice. The intent does not change.
Flexible working
You choose office, hybrid or remote around the role and the life around it.
Agreed with your manager, not dictated by policy.
Learning & development
Training, certification and a mentor, reviewed as often as your studies are.
A named mentor, close enough to ask in person.
Career growth
You get a development plan whether or not you ask, and the scope to use it.
Scope widens before the title does.
Employee recognition
Your work is credited by name, in a company small enough that everyone knows it was yours.
Credited by name, not by team.
While benefits vary by location, our commitment to supporting and rewarding our people remains the same across our global organization.
Hear it from the people who work here
Working as a Clinical Research Associate at TFS means being part of a fantastic and welcoming team of professionals, something that is particularly hard to find elsewhere. The projects are challenging and diverse, so I keep developing and growing in my role within the team.
What I like most about TFS is the supportive, empowering culture. It encourages me to take initiative and drive change, and it makes me even more committed to my work and to what we achieve together.
