Start date : April. This is an opportunity to join a friendly team of authors, working for a large and progressive company. Our client needs a technical writer to join its team of writers who can write user guides, Help files and workbooks for scientific instruments.

You’ll need to have at least 2 year’s experience in technical writing and, ideally, a science (esp. chemistry) background. It would help if you have some experience writing standard operating procedures in a regulated environment.

You need to be skilled in using:
- Authoring tools such as Madcap Flare, RoboHelp, FrameMaker or Adobe Acrobat.
- Graphics tools such as Corel Photo-Paint, CorelDraw or PaintShop Pro.

You also need to be experienced in user-centred design writing techniques, such as user personas and task-based writing.

You’ll be working on-site, at the client’s offices in South Manchester.
