Job description

Quality Assurance Coordinator

Hertfordshire | £30,000 - £35,000 DOE | Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm

Some QA roles are all about paperwork. This isn't one of them.

I'm working with a growing food manufacturing business that's looking for a Quality Assurance professional who can come in, take ownership and confidently lead audits from day one.

They need someone who is comfortable working independently, maintaining standards and ensuring the site remains audit-ready at all times.

This is a hands-on role where you'll be visible on the factory floor, working closely with colleagues across the business and playing a key part in maintaining food safety, quality and compliance standards.

What's in it for you?

• £30,000 - £35,000 salary depending on experience
• Monday-Friday working pattern
• 9am-5pm hours
• Pension scheme
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Genuine autonomy and responsibility
• Opportunity to make a visible impact within the business
• Supportive team environment
• Long-term career development opportunities

What you'll need

• Experience within a QA, Quality Assurance or Quality Coordinator role
• Food manufacturing experience
• Internal auditing experience
• Strong understanding of HACCP, GMP and food safety systems
• Confidence leading audits and communicating with auditors
• A proactive and hands-on approach

What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)

• Leading internal audits across the site
• Supporting external and customer audits
• Maintaining and improving the Quality Management System
• Managing non-conformances and corrective actions
• Supporting HACCP and food safety activities
• Carrying out factory inspections and GMP audits
• Working closely with production teams to drive continuous improvement
• Helping ensure the site remains audit-ready throughout the year

Where you'll be doing it

You'll be joining an established food manufacturing business that's currently going through an exciting period of growth and development.

Quality is taken seriously here, and you'll be given the trust and responsibility to make a real contribution rather than simply maintaining paperwork and processes.
