Job Description

JOB VACANCY FOR QA

Employee Job Title: QA Operative.

At Hilltop Honey, we're a team of honey heads who care deeply about the quality of every jar we produce. Our award-winning products rely on people who take pride in their work and enjoy being part of something that focuses on care, craft, and consistency. We're looking for someone to join our technical team, helping us keep everything on track behind the scenes at our Newtown site.

In this role, you'll be involved in sampling honey from intake right through to the finished product. You'll carry out checks to make sure our products meet the standards they should, look after lab equipment, stay on top of consumables, and keep results well organised from both internal and external labs. You'll support with swabbing when needed, take part in audits and visits, and help with traceability tasks.

Accurate record keeping is an extremely important part of the job, using both paper and digital systems. You'll also check raw materials, follow up on supplier issues, support the smooth running of food safety expectations on site, and inspect goods as they arrive. There may be extra tasks along the way, and we'll guide you through them.

We're hoping to find someone with a steady approach, excellent attention to detail, and a positive way of working with others. Experience in a similar setting can be helpful, though the main thing is a willingness to learn and grow with the team.

Life in the hive comes with plenty of extras. We offer a competitive salary as a Real Living Wage employer. You'll have access to company events across the year. Family life is supported with enhanced maternity and paternity leave. Parking on site is free. Our cycle to work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes help you travel in a greener way. You can take part in our employee referral programme. Each year, you'll have a paid volunteering day to support your community. We also offer a strong pension contribution, a BUPA Cash Plan, and life insurance.

If you're hardworking, curious, and ready to bring your skills into the hive, we'd love to meet you.
