The Role

Looking to kickstart a career in Quality Assurance (QA)? This role is designed as an entry point into Quality Systems, with a clear development pathway toward Quality Specialist roles.

Initially, you will focus on the day-to-day administration of our electronic Quality Management System (eQMS)—managing users, coordinating training, and keeping quality actions (like document reviews and CAPAs) on track.

• Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to streamline and automate administrative processes to boost efficiency.
• Document Control: Support the creation and maintenance of clear overviews of quality systems and business processes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with teams across the business, including R&D, Production, and IT to ensure smooth system integration.

What we’re looking for….

Education & Experience:

• A-Levels in a STEM subject (or equivalent qualification).
• Proven experience in an administrative or coordinating role within a technical environment (e.g., managing trackers, document control, or meeting planning).
• Experience with collaborative problem-solving and project planning.

Desirable:

• Experience in a regulated industry or supporting electronic databases/platforms.

Skills & Attitude:

• Tech-savvy and confident using electronic platforms (document management, project planning, or data tools).
• Excellent communication skills with a structured approach to problem-solving.
• Proactive, self-motivated, and eager to learn and develop within Quality Assurance.

We offer outstanding benefits to include an attractive bonus, generous pension contributions, private healthcare and an excellent starting salary.
