Are you passionate about quality, continuous improvement and making a genuine impact? Do you enjoy analysing data, identifying opportunities for improvement, and working with a wide range of stakeholders to drive high standards? If so, VIVO has an exciting opportunity for you.
We are seeking a motivated and detail-focused Quality Assurance Officer to support the delivery of quality assurance and continuous improvement activities across our MOD Accommodation contracts. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team where your work will directly contribute to service excellence, contract compliance and operational performance.
About The Role
Reporting to the Contract Quality Manager, you will act as a key point of contact for quality-related matters across the business. Working closely with operational teams, suppliers and customers, you will help ensure services are delivered in accordance with contractual requirements, internal procedures and recognised quality standards.
In this varied and rewarding role, you will carry out audits, inspections and assurance activities across the contract, verifying compliance and identifying opportunities for improvement. You will play a central role in analysing quality data, investigating trends, producing reports and supporting business-wide improvement initiatives. Your ability to interpret data and communicate findings clearly will help drive informed decision-making and enhance service delivery.
You will also support the development and continual improvement of Contract Quality Plans, manage quality records and documentation, and work collaboratively with operational teams to ensure inspection programmes are delivered effectively and on time. As a subject matter expert, you will provide guidance and training on VIVO systems, processes and assurance requirements, helping to embed a culture of quality throughout the organisation and supply chain.
What you’ll need
To be successful in this role, you will have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, advanced Excel and IT capabilities, and the confidence to build positive relationships with a range of stakeholders. You will be a strong communicator who is comfortable presenting information, delivering training and producing clear, professional reports. You will also be highly organised, able to manage competing priorities and committed to delivering high standards in everything you do.
Previous experience within Quality Assurance, Contract Management, Facilities Management or a similar operational environment would be advantageous. Experience of supplier performance management, risk management, Lean Six Sigma methodologies or ISO quality standards would also be beneficial, although not essential.
This role offers a flexible hybrid working arrangement, with regular travel required across the South East and South West regions to support sites, suppliers and operational teams. A full UK driving licence is therefore essential.
In return, we offer a competitive salary of £33,000 to £35,000, together with a company car or car allowance, flexible working arrangements, ongoing professional development opportunities and the chance to build a rewarding career.
We offer
- 6% employee matched pension contribution
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Company car/Car allowance
