Cure Talent are delighted to be partnered with a global manufacturer of medical technology, part of a wider FTSE 100 group, supporting healthcare professionals worldwide with innovative instrumentation.

We are looking for a Quality professional to join the team in a documentation and administration-focused role, supporting the day-to-day operation of the Quality Management System. This is not a traditional QA role requiring deep prior experience in medical devices. Instead, the focus is on process ownership, coordination, and ensuring quality records and activities are accurately managed and audit-ready.

The position would suit either someone already working in QA within a regulated environment, or someone in the medical device sector looking to transition into Quality from an adjacent function.

The role centres on administering and coordinating quality activities across complaints, deviations, CAPAs, and change control within an electronic QMS. You will act as a central point of control, ensuring quality events are logged, progressed, and closed in line with internal processes and regulatory requirements.

Key responsibilities

* Own the administration of customer complaints within the eQMS, ensuring accurate logging, categorisation, triage, and progression through to closure

* Coordinate investigations by gathering data, supporting root cause analysis, and documenting outcomes in line with internal procedures

* Support the management of deviations and nonconformances, ensuring correct classification, tracking, and timely closure

* Maintain and control QMS documentation, ensuring records are accurate, complete, and audit-ready at all times

* Administer CAPAs and quality events within the eQMS, ensuring workflows, approvals, and traceability are maintained

* Support design and engineering change control processes, ensuring documentation is complete and aligned with quality and regulatory expectations

* Assist with audit preparation and support audit activities by providing relevant documentation and evidence

What we are looking for

* Experience working within a regulated environment, either in a QA role or within a medical device organisation

* Strong administrative and organisational capability, with a high level of attention to detail

* Comfortable working with documentation, systems, and structured processes

* Exposure to quality systems, compliance processes, or regulated documentation

* Ability to coordinate activities across multiple stakeholders and maintain accurate records

* Clear communication skills and the ability to manage information in a structured and compliant way

Where to Advertise Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising medical technology jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.
