Apply NowQC Analyst | Maidstone | On-site
Salary: £33,000 – £49,600 + benefits
We're recruiting a QC Analyst for an established diagnostics and biopharma manufacturer based in Maidstone, Kent.
This is a hands-on QC laboratory role, testing raw materials, in-process materials and finished products, alongside calibration and a working knowledge of Data Integrity and Computer System Validation.
What you'll be doing:
* Lab-based testing and calibration of raw materials, in-process materials and finished goods
* Applying Data Integrity (DI) and Computer System Validation (CSV) principles
* Learning and understanding new equipment and software, not just following a method
* Acting as a go-to for junior colleagues day to day, without formal line management responsibility
* Putting together and delivering presentations
What we're looking for:
* A genuine interest in microbiology — not a food industry background
* Working knowledge of DI/CSV principles
* Comfortable presenting and communicating clearly at different levels
Benefits include:
* Private medical insurance, with family options
* Pension matched up to 10%
* Life assurance at 6x salary
* 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
* Income Replacement Insurance
* 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
