What does 'family business' mean to you?

For some, it's code for small, for others it is a collaborative and friendly space.

The truth - it's usually both.

Family, small to midsized pharmaceutical companies look after their staff. You become part of their community, their culture, and the way they do things.

In our experience, staff at family run SMEs experience longer levels of employment than at large global corporations, and are often compensated well over time for their rewards.

Which is why, I am delighted to be representing a leading (family run) pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation based near Watford in the UK.

This amazing company are going through a great transformation that should ensure the company's future for generations to come, and as part of that they are looking for reliable, professional and hard working Regulatory Affairs professionals.

As part of this expansion, our client is looking for someone with 5+ years experience in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs (ideally in a similar style of company, but they are open to people from all different pharmaceutical organisations).

You need to have a hard working attitude, good attention to detail, and you need to be able to work well with your team. Your experience in eCTD manager and document management tools will be valued, and you will need knowledge of global Regulatory requirements and guidelines (MHRA, EMA and ICH).

This is a site based role near Watford (5 days per week) and would suit someone looking for a company they can grow with, and build with, and that will give them huge career tragectory in a culture that is supportive and dynamic.

Medical Technology Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the medical technology (MedTech) jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Hospitals and health systems are under pressure to do more with less. Diagnostics and devices are becoming smarter, more connected and more regulated. AI, robotics and remote monitoring are no longer “future tech” – they’re being built into mainstream care pathways. At the same time, budgets are tight, funding cycles are uneven and some healthtech start-ups are consolidating or being acquired. That means fewer vague “innovation” roles and more focus on medical technology jobs that directly support regulatory approval, patient safety, NHS adoption and commercial growth. Whether you are a MedTech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams for medical device, diagnostics or digital health companies, this guide breaks down the key medical technology hiring trends for 2026.

Why Medical Technology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Medical technology (medtech) is transforming healthcare in the UK — from wearable sensors to AI diagnostic tools, from surgical robots to telemedicine platforms. Advances in hardware, software, data and connectivity are enabling more personalized, efficient and accessible care. But with great power comes great responsibility. As medical devices and health technologies enter hospitals, clinics and consumers’ homes, professionals in this domain must master much more than engineering and algorithms. They must also understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. That is, medtech careers are now deeply multidisciplinary. In this article, we explore why medical technology careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five allied fields now intersect with medtech work, and what job-seekers and employers should do to succeed in this evolving ecosystem.
