If you're a QA professional who's ready to stop maintaining someone else's system and start being trained to run one of your own, this is worth a proper look. A small, privately owned UK Medical Device business, with a vast portfolio spanning Class I to Class IIa, are hiring a Quality Specialist to join them on a permanent basis.
The Head of Medical Devices has run the ISO 13485 QMS himself for several years and is now being asked to focus on growing the business into new markets. He therefore needs someone he can train into running that QMS properly, who will get genuine hands-on training on all elements of the system, which is an already very well-run QMS.
This isn't a walk in and take over the whole quality system, but instead more suited to someone that may have been pigeonholed into one area of quality and wants to develop across the full scope of it, or who has 6-18 months QA experience and is looking for more of a challenge and ownership.
You will work closely with the Head of MedDev learning how the business operates and working together through writing SOPs, CAPA, complaints, audit prep, NC's, compliance, you name it.
The first three months are mainly onsite (4 days, 1 day split) while you learn how the business works, and flexibility comes after that. Hybrid is 3 days onsite, 2 days from home after that, but also with flexible hours, they understand you're human and may have a school run or a family.
To be considered, a solid grounding in Medical Devices QA and ISO 13485 is essential. Sadly, if it's just 9001 or GMP, this won't be considered. Medical is a must.
You will thrive here if you're comfortable in a small business where nothing is too much trouble, and if you'd like to be fully supported into a senior QA role, the path is there for you in this business.
If it sounds like this could be the next move for you, hit apply and I will be in touch. Please note, currently we can only accept applicants based in the UK with the full right to work.
