Quality Assurance Assistant

LOCATION: Hull, East Yorkshire
SALARY: £27,000 per annum
CONTRACT: 6-Month Fixed-term contract with a view to permanent employment

An established business is looking for a Quality Assurance Assistant to support its quality team with day-to-day administration, documentation and quality processes.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is organised, has strong attention to detail and is interested in developing a career within Quality Assurance. You’ll work alongside an experienced team, helping to maintain accurate records and support the processes that keep quality standards consistent across the business.

The position is initially offered on a fixed-term contract, with the potential to become permanent.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

• Develop your experience within Quality Assurance, with training and support from an experienced team.

• Put your administrative and organisational skills to use in a role supporting quality standards and compliance.

• Gain practical experience of quality systems, audits and continuous improvement.

• Join a business offering the potential for permanent employment following the initial fixed-term contract.

• Previous Quality Assurance experience is not essential, making this an opportunity to move into a new area.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Assist with maintaining and updating the company’s Quality Management System (QMS).

• Prepare, organise and file quality documentation and records.

• Help ensure internal procedures and documentation are accurate and up to date.

• Provide administrative support for internal and external quality audits.

• Assist with recording and tracking non-conformances and corrective actions.

• Work alongside colleagues to support quality-related activities and queries.

• Maintain accurate information within internal quality systems and software.

• Support general administrative tasks within the Quality Assurance department.

• Help identify opportunities to improve existing processes and procedures.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to work.

• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks.

• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word.

• Good written and verbal communication skills.

• A willingness to learn new systems, processes and procedures.

• A proactive attitude and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

Previous experience in an administrative, quality or office-based role would be beneficial. Exposure to Quality Assurance or Quality Control, familiarity with ISO 9001 or Quality Management Systems, and experience within engineering, manufacturing or an industrial environment would also be advantageous. Experience maintaining documentation, records or compliance-related information would be useful.

Previous Quality Assurance experience is not essential. We’re equally interested in candidates with strong administrative skills who are keen to develop a career within quality.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• A salary of £27,000 per annum.

• A fixed-term contract with a view to a permanent position.

• Practical experience within Quality Assurance.

• Training and support from an experienced team.

• The opportunity to develop your knowledge of quality systems, compliance and internal processes.
