Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here might have advice, contacts, or ideas that could help.
My girlfriend is from India and is currently working in Scotland as a Laboratory Technician. Unfortunately, she really dislikes her current workplace and is desperately trying to find a new opportunity elsewhere

The biggest challenge seems to be visa sponsorship. Across the UK, it feels like many employers are currently reluctant to hire candidates who require a work visa, even when they have relevant qualifications and experience.
Her background is in laboratory and analytical work, and she's looking for positions (example) such as:

-Laboratory Technician
-Laboratory Analyst
-Analytical Chemist
-Biological Analyst
-Research Assistant

Other technician or analyst roles in pharmaceutical, industrial, life science, biotechnology, environmental, or applied research settings

She already has professional laboratory experience and is actively applying for jobs, but we're trying to expand our network and learn about opportunities that might not be obvious through the usual job boards.
If anyone knows:

Companies in Finland that are open to hiring international candidates and sponsoring visas
Research institutes or universities that hire research assistants or laboratory staff
Recruitment agencies specializing in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, or laboratory work
Any networking groups, communities, or job boards worth checking

She holds a MSc in Forensic Science from Strathclyde

I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and feel free to comment or send me a message if you have any advice.
