Milnthorpe, Cumbria
£30,000–£35,000 depending on experience

Do you love helping get things done? Are you organised, detail-focused, and passionate about continuous improvement? Do you enjoy supporting business operations and making a meaningful impact? Whether you're looking to step into admin support for the first time, or you're ready to build on existing administrative or finance experience, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow with a world-leading company.

Founded in 1984, 4S DAWN Clinical Software is a specialist healthcare software company providing decision support for the long-term safety monitoring of patients with chronic conditions. Our products are used by top health systems around the world to keep patients safe, and we’re proud of our reputation for innovation and reliability.

We are now looking for an enthusiastic administrator to join our small but ambitious team.

To be considered for this role, you will need:

  • A methodical, organised approach to work
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong numeracy skills – you’ll be supporting with quotes, invoicing, purchasing, and accounts
  • A team-player mindset – willing to adapt, collaborate, and cooperate
  • A high work ethic, with the drive to deliver and take ownership of tasks
  • An interest in healthcare, software, or quality/compliance
  • A degree (or equivalent), or relevant experience in administration, finance, or customer support
  • Experience with ISO-certified systems (such as ISO 13485, ISO 27001, or ISO 9001) is desirable

    This role might particularly suit someone with experience as an accounts clerk or technician, or someone ready to grow from an administrative or customer service background.

    In this role, you will:

  • Support day-to-day business operations including quotes, invoicing, purchasing, and customer records
  • Help with the administration of our quality and information security management systems
  • Complete some internal audits and help ensure ongoing compliance with relevant standards
  • Support internal coordination across departments as the company grows and adapts
  • Assist with marketing activities, events, exhibitions, and customer communications
  • Contribute to process reviews, documentation updates, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Invoicing, purchasing, company and customer records
  • Work closely with the Managing Director and wider team across admin, compliance, and customer support

    To help you gain hands-on understanding of our technically involved products and the needs of our customers, the role may include an initial induction period on our technical support desk. This experience provides valuable product exposure and insight into real-world use, and can accelerate your progression within the business.

    We’re a small, collaborative company with a strong track record – many of our staff have been with us for years. We offer a varied and flexible role with real scope for development. The role could develop into a more senior position in operations, customer success, sales, technical support, or regulatory affairs, depending on your interests.

    Why join us?

    You’ll be joining a mission-led team committed to making medication monitoring safer for patients worldwide. We offer a friendly, flexible working environment (currently split between home and our Milnthorpe office), and the chance to make a real difference in a company where your contribution matters.

    Please note: the successful candidate will need to live within a commutable distance (approximately 20–30 miles) of Milnthorpe, Cumbria.

    So, if you’re ready to take on a key role in a healthcare software company and build a career in administration, operations, or customer support, we’d love to hear from you.

    Apply today using the button shown.

    Other organisations may call this role Admin and Operations Assistant, Business Support Officer, Administrative Co-ordinator, Healthcare Admin and Finance Officer, Customer Support Administrator, or Accounts and Administration Assistant

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.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
