Quality Assurance Assistant

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.

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

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.

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

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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.
