Quality Assurance Associate

Job description

QA Associate

Location: Wiltshire (on‑site)

The Opportunity

We’re supporting a UK manufacturer of cannabis‑based medicines that has recently brought a new, state‑of‑the‑art growing, processing and lab facility online in the Southwest. The organisation runs a sustainability‑led operation that’s carbon‑negative by design and is scaling to meet growing patient demand.

You’ll report into the Head of Quality and help keep the site inspection‑ready by strengthening the Quality Management System (QMS), managing quality events, and collaborating across Production, QC, and Growing teams.

What you’ll be doing

• Own core elements of the GMP QMS—write, update and review SOPs/records; ensure Good Documentation Practice; track SOP review cycles and training; and maintain complete, compliant records.
• Manage quality events—identify and raise deviations, lead root cause analysis, define and implement CAPAs, oversee change control and complete post‑implementation reviews, track metrics and report into the business.
• Drive inspection readiness—plan and run self‑inspections, conduct independent audits and risk assessments, and keep current with relevant regulatory requirements.
• Supplier & customer oversight—support approvals and liaise with external supplier QA where needed.
• Controlled drugs compliance—assist with Home Office licensing requirements as needed.
• Broader quality support—help maintain the GACP QMS alongside GMP activities.

About you

• A relevant scientific or technical degree (or equivalent experience).
• Experience in a quality focused position within a GMP production environment.
• Experience of GMP QMS.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, change‑driven setting.
• Knowledge of GACP would be advantageous but training and support will be provided.

Please note – to be considered for this position you will need to pass an enhanced DBS Check.
