This is a unique opportunity to lead the planning and delivery of testing activities for our UK business, working closely with our central project team and colleagues across sites.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring that testing is thorough, well-documented, and delivered on time.

As the main point of contact for testing in the UK, you’ll represent our business in wider project discussions, making sure our needs are reflected in the overall plan.

You’ll work with a wide range of stakeholders – from local workstream leads to central teams – helping to embed new processes and systems. This is a fantastic chance to develop your project and stakeholder management skills while playing a key role in delivering change across our organisation.

What’s in it for you?  

We believe in giving back and making sure you're happy and thriving. Here's a taste of what we offer: 

• Annual bonus scheme, with an excellent track record of over achievement.

• Comprehensive Healthcare Support – Access to a Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, including a Digital GP service, Best Doctors (Second Medical Opinion Service), and specialist Cancer Care for peace of mind when you need it most.

• KP Pension Plan - contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

• 25 days holiday + holiday buy scheme 

• KP4ME - online benefits, discounts, prizes, competitions and information platform with access to mental, physical and financial wellbeing information and tools 

What will you be doing? 

• Lead the testing plan and delivery for the UK, making sure all testing activities are well planned, resourced and run to a high standard

• Collaborate with the central testing team and UK workstream leads to create test scripts, align on requirements, and ensure UK-specific business needs are built into the testing approach

• Bring people together across teams, working with site leaders, project colleagues and external partners to deliver testing that supports our transition to new systems and processes

• Identify risks and issues early on, acting as the escalation point for defects and working with others to co-ordinate resolution so that we stay on track

• Create opportunities for learning and improvement, documenting testing outcomes, sharing insights, and helping embed new ways of working that will shape our future
