QUALITY MANAGER
40 hours | Monday-Friday

QUALITY IS YOUR THING? THIS COULD BE YOUR NEXT MOVE.

We''re looking for a Quality Manager to take the lead on quality, food safety and compliance across this fast-paced food business.

This is a role with plenty of scope to lead, influence and make a difference - from raw material quality and finished product inspections through to HACCP, audits, suppliers, data and developing your team.

If you''re a confident Quality professional who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems and raising standards, this could be right up your street.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

Food Safety & Compliance

  • Own and maintain the Food Safety Management System
  • Oversee HACCP plans and ensure they remain robust and up to date
  • Lead internal audits and support customer/third-party audits
  • Keep the gifting operation compliant, safe and audit-ready

Raw Material Quality

  • Lead inspections and assessment of incoming raw materials
  • Investigate supplier non-conformances and drive corrective action
  • Work with suppliers to improve quality and reduce repeat issues
  • Use data and photographic evidence to monitor performance

Finished Product Quality

  • Oversee quality checks across finished gifting products
  • Investigate out-of-specification products and agree corrective actions
  • Monitor trends and identify opportunities to improve consistency
  • Train and support operational teams on quality standards and rework

YOU''LL ALSO LEAD THE TEAM

You''ll manage, coach and develop the Quality team, setting clear objectives, managing rotas and helping build a culture where quality isn''t just a department - it''s everyone''s responsibility.

You''ll also work closely with Production, Procurement and NPD, acting as the technical go-to for gifting quality and food safety.

And when needed, you''ll represent the business with customers and external stakeholders.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

We''re looking for someone with:

Experience in a Quality Management role within food
Strong knowledge of HACCP, BRCGS and customer requirements
Experience inspecting raw materials and finished products
Knowledge of food labelling and compliance
Strong analytical and reporting skills
Experience leading and developing a team
A proactive, hands-on approach to problem solving

Experience within gifting or similar product lines would be a bonus.

WHY THIS ROLE?

Because this isn''t just about checking products.

It''s about leading quality, developing people, challenging standards and helping create better products.

If you''re trusted, passionate, dynamic and someone who gets things done, we''d love to hear from you.

Interested? Apply now or get in touch for a confidential chat.
