Junior Software Tester

Junior Software Tester

1 day per week onsite in Birmingham

Up to £28,000

Our client is looking for a Junior Software Tester who genuinely cares when something is not working as it should.

Attention to detail is the most important requirement. You should naturally notice inconsistencies, poor user experiences and small issues that others might overlook.

Commercial testing experience is not essential. Testing knowledge may have been gained through a degree, apprenticeship, technology role, qualification or personal project. However, some previous workplace experience is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Test new features against agreed requirements.
• Explore systems to identify defects, unusual scenarios and usability issues.
• Create clear test cases covering different user journeys.
• Complete regression and smoke testing before demonstrations and releases.
• Log issues clearly so technical teams can investigate and resolve them.
• Read and absorb detailed information, then break it down into manageable steps.
• Use AI tools to support testing and improve efficiency.
• Demonstrate software to clients and explain how features work.
• Manage testing activity across multiple projects and deadlines.

What Our Client Is Looking For

• Exceptional attention to detail and a strong desire to get things right.
• A curious mindset and genuine enjoyment of investigating systems.
• A methodical and systematic approach to work.
• The ability to absorb and understand complex information.
• Confidence using technology and learning new systems quickly.
• Clear communication skills and the confidence to speak with clients.
• A dependable attitude, strong work ethic and pride in producing quality work.
• The ability to stay focused when completing detailed or repetitive tasks.
• Some previous workplace experience, ideally within technology, customer service, administration or a similar environment.

Above all, our client is looking for someone who notices when something is not right, takes the time to investigate it and cares enough to make sure it is resolved.
