QA Assistant

Quality Assurance Assistant - join an employee-owned food manufacturer.

Want a say in how the business is run, and a share in its success?

This is an employee-owned business. That means you're not just another number. You have a genuine stake in how things go, a voice that's heard, and a share in the rewards when the company does well.

Learn from an expert:
You'll report into an experienced Quality lead who has come in specifically to raise standards. You'll learn from someone who knows their stuff, building your own knowledge along the way.

Variety in your week:
One day you might be documenting procedures, the next you're getting hands-on with products on the production floor or digging into the root cause of a quality issue. No two days look the same.

Days, Monday to Friday:
Standard office hours of 8:30am to 5pm. Your evenings and weekends are your own.

Your rewards:
Salary of £30,000 - £35,000 (dependent on experience) Bonus up to 10% Monday to Friday days A genuine stake in an employee-owned business

What you'll do as the QA Assistant:

Support day-to-day QA activities, keeping the site compliant with the Quality Management System, specifications and food safety standards.
Document manufacturing procedures and maintain quality specifications for raw and finished goods
Help maintain the Quality Management System manuals, including the HACCP manual
Identify quality issues, carry out root cause analysis and put preventive measures in place
Work closely with the buying and production teams to keep product quality consistent
Help facilitate audits and keep the auditing programme on track.
Spot opportunities to improve product and process quality

Hours of work:

Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm. Because you'll be working closely with production and the products themselves, there will be the odd occasion when you need to flex your hours - for example, coming in early to check on a new product launch.

What's required from you

Experience working with food quality systems for a food manufacturer
Experience driving standards to meet BRC audit requirements
The flexibility to occasionally adjust your hours around new product launches
