2026 Quality Practitioner Apprenticeship

In your daily work, you will interact with a variety of teams within the organisation (e.g. technical, procurement, manufacturing, and operational) and external organisations, such as customers, suppliers and certification bodies when required. The individual will be expected to be an advocate for implementing Quality Practice and Governance.

A typical day will include internal meetings to review quality performance, such as gathering and analysing quality performance data, inspection or audit findings, carrying out audits or inspections, stakeholder visits, interacting with people from other functions to plan the quality delivery system for their area of responsibility. Individuals will also support and develop people within and outside the Quality Function.

They work within the Quality function in Dartford under the guidance of the central Quality team.
