Job Description
Quality Assurance
Location: Malton, North Yorkshire
Salary: £27,500 - £30,000 DOE
Hours: Monday to Friday, 6am - 2pm
Job Type: Permanent
Are you working in food manufacturing and looking to take the next step into Quality Assurance? Or perhaps you're already working in a QA role and would like to join a supportive, growing food manufacturing business?
I'm recruiting for a QA to join a well-established bakery manufacturer based in Malton.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a keen eye for detail, a passion for food safety and the confidence to work independently. Previous quality experience would be beneficial, but the business is also open to candidates from production or team leader backgrounds who are keen to develop a career in Quality Assurance.
The Role
Reporting directly to the Technical Manager, you'll work alongside another QA and a Compliance Assistant, helping to maintain high standards of food safety, quality and compliance across the bakery.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Carrying out daily quality and food safety checks across production.
-
Monitoring products to ensure they meet quality specifications.
-
Completing quality records and maintaining accurate documentation.
-
Supporting the implementation of food safety and hygiene procedures.
-
Identifying and reporting any quality issues or non-conformances.
-
Working closely with production teams to maintain quality standards.
-
Supporting continuous improvement across the manufacturing process.
-
Ensuring compliance with company procedures and food safety requirements.
What I'm Looking For
-
Experience within a manufacturing or production environment, ideally food manufacturing.
-
Previous Quality Assurance experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
-
Bakery experience would be a bonus.
-
HACCP Level 2 would be beneficial, although training can be provided.
-
Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills.
-
Confidence working independently and taking responsibility for daily tasks.
-
Good communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
-
A genuine interest in food safety, quality and developing new skills.
If you're currently a Production Operative, Senior Operative or Team Leader looking to progress into Quality Assurance, I'd love to hear from you.
What's on Offer?
-
Salary of £27,500 - £30,000 depending on experience.
-
Permanent, Monday to Friday position.
-
Fixed 6am - 2pm shift with no rotating shifts.
-
33 days' holiday including bank holidays.
-
Christmas shutdown.
-
Overtime opportunities.
-
Training and development within a supportive technical team.
Interested?
If you're looking for a new opportunity within food manufacturing, whether you're already working in Quality Assurance or hoping to take your first step into the industry, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
