Job Introduction We're committed to delivering inclusive, high-quality, and user-centred digital solutions that make a meaningful difference to the people and communities we support. We're now recruiting for a Test and Release Lead , a critical role within our growing digital product and experience function. This role will lead quality assurance, testing, and release management across our digital estate, including websites, digital products, IT services, release packages, and automation solutions. Working closely with product, experience, engineering, service transition, and operational teams, you'll help embed a strong culture of quality, ensuring that digital solutions and new releases are accessible, secure, reliable, and fit for purpose from discovery through to live service and ongoing improvement. This is an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about modern testing practices, continuous improvement, and building scalable quality capability in a purpose-driven organisation. The role offers flexibility with remote working, alongside occasional travel to London or Manchester for in-person collaboration and key meetings. Main Responsibilities As Test and Release Lead, you will: Define and improve test strategies covering functionality, performance, security, accessibility, and user experience. Plan and manage end-to-end testing across websites, digital products, and automation initiatives. Lead all testing phases: system, integration, regression, accessibility, usability, performance, security, and UAT. Maintain test plans, cases, and scripts aligned to requirements and user stories. Track and resolve defects, collaborating with developers and product owners. Embed QA within agile delivery cycles for continuous improvement. Coordinate release processes, including planning, scheduling, and readiness checks. Support CI/CD pipelines and champion test automation and modern QA practices. Manage quality risks (accessibility, security, data privacy) and maintain documentation for compliance. Promote a strong quality mindset and continuous learning across teams. The Ideal Candidate You'll be someone who: Have proven experience leading QA across digital products, websites, services, and automation. Understand testing methodologies, tools, and both manual and automated approaches. Be skilled in functional and non-functional testing, including accessibility, performance, and security.

A contract position Inside IR35 Hybrid working - 3 days onsite. Automotive ADAS experience essential. Hands-on ADAS Automation Test Engineer to build and scale test automation for advanced driver-assistance features. You will primarily work with Vector CANoe/CAPL to automate tests, translate Gherkin/KTD/ATS test cases into CAPL scripts, and convert Python test logic to robust CAPL implementations. You'll collaborate closely with system, software, and validation teams to ensure high-quality, reliable releases for production programs. Key Responsibilities Test Automation Development Design, implement, and maintain automated test scripts in CAPL within Vector CANoe for ADAS ECUs and functions (e.g., ACC, AEB, LKA, APA). Translate Gherkin/KTD keyword-based and ATS manual test cases into executable CAPL automation. Convert existing Python-based tests and utilities to CAPL (or orchestrate Python-CANoe integrations where appropriate). Test Execution & Infrastructure Configure CANoe environments (databases, panels, CAPL DLLs, simulation nodes) for CAN/LIN/FlexRay/Ethernet (SOME/IP). Execute automated regression suites on HIL benches / SIL environments, analyse results, and triage failures. Develop test stubs, signal generators, rest-bus simulations, and trace analysers for ADAS scenarios.
