• Complete testing documentation throughout the testing lifecycle
• Raise, manage and track defects through to resolution
• Maintain accurate defect logs and associated documentation

• Experience writing and executing test scripts
• Experience completing testing documentation
• Experience raising, managing and tracking defects
• Experience maintaining defect logs and associated documentation
• Strong understanding of structured software testing methodologies
• Ability to work independently within a fast-paced programme environment
• Laboratory or Biomedical Science background (desirable, not essential)

Why Apply?

• Join a major NHS pathology transformation programme
• Fully remote contract
• Outside IR35
• Work on a large-scale LIMS implementation
• High likelihood of extension beyond the initial 4 months
• Immediate interview process and quick start
