As a Quality Assurance Officer at the General Medical Council (GMC), you’ll champion our commitment to quality, continually raise standards and help to provide assurance that corporate and operational risks are being effectively managed.

You’ll work with a team of dedicated quality professionals to conduct audits and reviews of GMC processes, to not only reinforce standards and protect patient safety, but also to identify opportunities to improve how we do our work and celebrate where we do it best.

About the General Medical Council

We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors, PAs, AAs and their educators need to meet, and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors, PAs, or AAs may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.

About the role

Putting your QA expertise into action, you’ll carry out compliance and process evaluation audits and reviews of our casework, decisions, processes and procedures. This role will involve implementing different tools and techniques.

Analysing information and data, you’ll prepare reports, review findings and recommend ways we can do things even better. Advising on best practice and providing an excellent QA service to your colleagues, you’ll also lead meetings and provide clear guidance and support.

With a good understanding of risk management, you should be able to make sound proposals and clearly communicate complex issues. You’ll also need excellent analytical, prioritisation and relationship building skills.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for someone focussed on adding value, who can use quality to push things forward, who has a keen eye for detail and can build strong relationships with internal customers.

We are looking for a confident communicator and multitasker who can use their own initiative and has wide-ranging experience of quality control, quality assurance and different tools and techniques.

The team usually work from the office one day a fortnight, or more frequently if required or preferred. You may be required to attend the office on additional days during your induction period.
