Quality Assurance System Support Officer Review

I am an administrator of the GMP systems used within the QA/QC department, building the content within these systems and problem solving issues raised by internal QC customers as well as carrying out quality assurance duties for internal/external QA customers.

I have learned new change management and leadership skills, as well as learning about the GMP processes surrounding systems used in the QA/QC area. I have also taken the opportunity to work in a GMP QC Laboratory during a short rotation to increase my development.

I really enjoy the programme and all of the opportunities I have gotten to upskill within the company. The responsibility I have been given in leading projects has really helped me thrive in my role.

There is a clear development path set out for me and I am given adequate time off work for studying for my degree, as well as support in my studies.

I receive lots of support during work for development to progress my career, and I am given support in my studying through time off work.

I am given lots of support in the form of great lecturers, who are available to email with questions about the course.
