Job description

Junior Manual Software Tester / QA Tester

Kent – Hybrid working

Permanent

£30,000 - £32,000

We’re looking for a Junior Manual Software Tester to join a specialist financial services organisation based in Kent, supporting the testing of internal software systems and new functionality. Working as part of the IT team, you’ll help ensure that software changes and developments work as expected, identifying any issues before they're released to the wider business.

Working closely with Developers, Business Analysts and other stakeholders, you’ll be responsible for reading requirements, creating and executing manual test scripts, identifying and logging defects and retesting once issues have been resolved. You'll also carry out regression testing to ensure new changes haven't affected existing functionality, alongside occasionally supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

This would suit someone with some hands-on experience in manual software testing, whether that's within a Software Tester, QA Tester, Test Analyst or UAT role. You'll need to be comfortable writing your own test scripts, identifying and tracking bugs and working with developers to resolve issues.

Experience with specific technologies isn't essential, although exposure to Agile environments, SQL or test management tools would be beneficial. More importantly, we're looking for someone with good attention to detail, a logical approach to problem solving and a willingness to learn and develop their skills
