Trainee QA Technician

£13.46 per hour + 1.5x Overtime + Full Training + Career Development

Willand (commutable from Exeter and Taunton)

Are you looking for a career in Quality Assurance? Do you have a background in a manufacturing environment or similar, looking to join an award-winning company in the food manufacturing industry, who are offering a full-time role with full training from the ground up and opportunities to gain additional qualifications and the chance to boost earnings with overtime?

On offer is an excellent opportunity to join an award-winning UK manufacturer specialising in 100% organic, plant-based products. The company has grown from a small two-person operation into a respected producer supplying major wholesalers and retailers across the UK. You will join a modern BRC-accredited manufacturing facility and play a key role in maintaining high standards of quality, food safety and compliance.

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.
