• A CSV / GDP documentation gap analysis and action plan
• A full suite of compliant CSV QA documentation and artefacts
• Guidance on compliant IS change management processes
• Audit preparation checklists and supporting evidence packs
• A GDP‑compliant SharePoint Online document management solution
• Training materials and handover documentation for internal teams
• Supplier documentation review reports (where applicable)
• A review and improvement log, plus an up‑to‑date risk and dependency register

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from contractors who can hit the ground running and bring clarity to complex environments. You'll ideally have:

• Demonstrable experience in CSV, QA, and GDP within regulated environments
• A strong track record supporting audits and remediation activities
• Hands‑on experience building and managing document control systems in SharePoint Online
• A solid understanding of IS change management and compliance processes
• Confidence working independently while engaging effectively with a range of stakeholders
• Experience reviewing supplier documentation and providing clear feedback
• A proactive mindset with a focus on risk management and continuous improvement

Why Join?

You'll be working on a meaningful programme in a regulated environment where your expertise will genuinely make a difference. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership, autonomy, and visibility - ideal for a contractor who values quality, structure, and collaboration.
