Build confidence in your next quality hire
QA recruitment services designed to find the professionals with the knowledge and experience your organisation needs.
Network Scientific provides quality assurance recruitment for pharmaceutical, medical device and life science businesses across the UK. Whether you need a hands-on QA specialist, an experienced quality manager or additional support for a defined project, we’ll help you find people whose skills match your requirements.
The right quality expertise for your team
A quality assurance appointment needs more than a matching job title. You need someone who understands your working environment, can apply their technical knowledge and works effectively with the people around them.
Perhaps you’re strengthening your quality management system, preparing for an audit or expanding your manufacturing operation. You may need someone comfortable working across a small business, or a specialist with experience in a particular product area.
Our QA recruitment service starts with understanding those details. We’ll explore the responsibilities of the position, your essential requirements and what your new colleague will need to achieve. That gives the search a clear focus and helps candidates understand the opportunity you have available. Getting these details correct from the start ensures the best chance of a successful, long-term appointment.

Experience that matches your quality challenges
Quality management systems
Does your next hire need to maintain an established quality management system, improve existing processes or support the introduction of a new system?
We’ll discuss the practical experience required, including document control, quality training, management review and continuous improvement. Where particular standards or frameworks matter to your role, we’ll include them in the recruitment brief.
Audits and inspection readiness
You may need someone who can coordinate an internal audit programme, manage supplier audits or help teams prepare for external scrutiny.
We’ll clarify whether the role requires experience leading audits, gathering evidence, responding to findings or ensuring agreed actions are completed.
Deviations, CAPA and change control
Effective quality teams need people who can investigate issues thoroughly and work constructively with other departments.
Your brief might call for experience in deviation management, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive action (CAPA), change control or checking the effectiveness of improvements. We’ll explore the level of responsibility and technical judgement involved.
Supplier and manufacturing quality
Quality requirements extend across suppliers, materials, processes and finished products.
We can discuss recruitment needs involving supplier qualification, non-conformances, manufacturing support and collaboration with production or technical teams. Understanding your products and processes helps us focus on relevant candidate experience.
