QA Compliance Associate

0800 – 1630 hrs, Mon-Fri (with every second Friday off)

Site-based

Dechra are a growing, global specialist within the world of veterinary pharmaceuticals. Our expertise is in the development, manufacture, marketing and sales of high-quality products exclusively for veterinarians worldwide.

The QA Compliance Associate works within the Quality Assurance group to ensure site-wide compliance. You'll build key relationships with other site functions, providing cGMP support to ensure compliance with standards and the delivery of site quality metrics.

You'll be the person to ensure everything we do is compliant, checking that things have been done to the correct standard across the site. Day to day, you'll look at change controls and document what the change is. This could be new artwork, for example, on the packaging components like cartons or leaflets, and packing records, etc. Your team facilitates overseeing the change and making sure it can go ahead.

You'll use various systems and processes to complete your day-to-day actions and sense-check everything has been logged correctly on our Oracle system.

If you've worked within Pharmaceuticals before or other heavily regulated industries, then great! Equally, we'll still love to hear from you if you're looking to gain more experience in this area. You'll need to be well organised, manage a large workload, and effectively prioritise a range of tasks and actions within our secure cloud-based enterprise content management platform, Veeva.

Experience with change control actions will stand you in good stead, but you don't need to be a subject matter expert in this area; more of an understanding of the 'why' behind the process. You'll be assigned a department to support with CAPAs and Deviations via Veeva.

You won't always be able to get hold of the right people or find the answers you need right away. Manufacturing sites are very busy and face multiple challenges on a daily basis. Because of this, you'll need to adopt a proactive approach to the working day and build relationships quickly across cross-functional teams. You'll actively contribute towards PQR Product Quality Reviews with Supply Chain, Quality Assurance and Quality Control involved, managing the PQR system and your actions as well.

We provide veterinary professionals with the tools to support the welfare of animals worldwide. A true career with real purpose, that's something you can proudly shout about.

We also care deeply about our staff; you'll have full access to our Employee Assistance programme (EAP), which ensures you have confidential emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support 24/7 365. This ensures that you are well equipped to deal with life’s many challenges. In addition to this, we also offer:

• Healthcare Cash plan (covers the cost of dental, prescriptions, therapies)
• Headspace App (positive mental wellbeing app, up to 5 users per account)
• Discounted Gym Membership
• Cycle to work scheme
• Discount on pet food

• Option to buy a week’s holiday each year
