  • Technical Documentation Assistant (Fixed Term)
  • Morston Claycliffe Office Park, Whaley Rd, Barnsley, S75 1HQ

We’re embarking on a major transformation of our technical documentation, migrating a large library of product manuals from Microsoft Word into Adobe Frame Maker.

This is a key project that will improve document quality, consistency, regulatory alignment, and long‑term efficiency.

To support this transition, we’re looking for an organised and detail‑focused individual who takes pride in accuracy and clear communication.

You’ll play a direct role in ensuring our user documentation meets internal standards and regulatory requirements, contributing to a smoother, smarter workflow for years to come.

About the job

As a Technical Documentation Assistant, you will help transfer existing Word based manuals into Adobe Frame Maker using our templates and workflows.

You do not need prior Frame Maker experience (training will be provided) but you must be highly competent in Microsoft Office and able to learn new systems quickly.

Key Responsibilities

  • Transfer existing product manuals from MS Word into Adobe Frame Maker.
  • Ensure all documentation complies with internal procedures and regulatory requirements.
  • Apply templates, formatting rules, and style guidelines accurately.
  • Manage multiple documentation tasks and meet agreed deadlines.
  • Work closely with the technical authoring and approvals team to support smooth transition processes.

This position will be based at our Barnsley site and is expected to last six months.

Although this is advertised as a full time position, part time working will be considered for the right candidate.

About you

  • Demonstrable administration experience, preferably in a regulated environment.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • Excellent English written and verbal communication skills.
