Job Description :

Job Title: Games Tester
Contract type: Part of a pool of temporary workers offered ad-hoc, one day assignments
Hours: Shifts are 8 hours (8:15-16:45) - Frequency with which they are offered is variable based on your shared availability/client workload over a 7-day week
Rate: Hourly rate is the current minimum/living wage (which varies depending on your age)
Location: Thames Valley Park, Reading (Fully Office-Based)
Start: ASAP

Our client, based just outside Reading, has a continuous requirement for temporary Games Testers to check that video games meet the required for release. We are seeking to increase our pool of temps for this role. This an entirely office-based role as much of the client's work is confidential and must be carried out in a secure lab.

The workload is variable so there are no guaranteed shifts with this project. Furthermore, you must live within a 1-hour travel time of the office to allow for last minute change. Shifts are offered with only 1 day's notice and their frequency can vary week-to-week and month-to-month. As our client is open 7 days a week, a successful candidate will need to be able to work weekends, at least on occasion.

If you perform well in the role, it is possible to be offered shifts on a regular basis.

Duties include:

  • Following test steps and investigating observed behaviour.
  • Writing reports and communicating test results.
  • Escalating issues to your team lead and supporting the wider team as appropriate.

What we are looking for:

  • Excellent communication, attention to detail, time management and organisation.
  • Ability to collaborate within a team with a positive, pro-active attitude and strong desire to learn.
  • IT competence, particularly MS Excel and Word.
  • Flexibility regarding shifts.
  • Interest in video games and game development is essential but prior games or software testing experience is not required.

Requirements:

  • Must be over 18 due to age-rating restrictions of the products tested.
  • Must be available to work weekends occasionally.
  • Must have experience of playing video games. This knowledge is vital for the role.
  • Must be based within 1 hour's commute of the work location.
  • You must have access to a dual-analog stick controller to be assessed for this role. You can borrow one from a friend if you do not own one, but we will need to witness you using it during a video call one before we can add you to the pool.

Please note:

  • If successful, you will be added to a pool of temps who are resourced for this role one day at a time rather than placed into a specific assignment.
  • You will not be required to accept any offered shifts, but are you not guaranteed to be offered any either.
  • Shifts will be offered to you as and when available in line with the availability you share, your current level of training and performance feedback.

If you are interested, please apply online to be considered.
