Correla is looking for a Junior QA Analyst to join our team.

Salary: circa £25,000 (advertised salary achievable for a candidate fulfilling all role criteria)

Job Type: Permanent

About Us

In March 2021, Correla was created, as an independently owned business to bring in private investment to fuel innovation in the centre of the energy market and beyond.

Correla is derived from correlation, because we’re all about exploring and enhancing relationships between data, people, and processes. Our SaaS products and Managed Service solutions combine to power industry innovation, simplify an increasingly complex market, and deliver cost and operational efficiencies.

Our goal is to support industry transformation, to move to a net-zero future and to positively impact the end-consumer.

About the Role:

  • Learning and Development: Develop an understanding of QA principles, testing techniques and the software development lifecycle. Actively seek opportunities to learn through coaching, mentoring, self-directed learning and practical experience, taking ownership of personal development and building confidence through experience.
  • Supporting Quality Activities: Support quality activities throughout the software development lifecycle, including reviewing requirements, preparing test cases, executing tests and reporting findings. Contribute to testing activities under guidance whilst developing confidence and independence.
  • Early Quality Engagement: Participate in discussions and refinement activities to develop an understanding of business requirements, identify potential quality risks and consider wider quality factors such as usability, performance, security, accessibility and reliability. Develop an appreciation of how quality is built throughout the software development lifecycle.
  • Collaboration: Work collaboratively with QA colleagues, developers, product teams and other stakeholders. Communicate effectively, ask questions and seek guidance when required whilst contributing positively within the team.
  • Technical Development: Develop an understanding of software engineering practices, quality engineering, source control and technical tools appropriate to the role. Build technical confidence through practical experience and continuous learning, recognising how technical skills support effective quality assurance

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
