Medical Technology Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into medical technology (medtech) in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re exploring an exciting and meaningful field. Medtech companies in the UK design, develop and support devices, software and systems that improve patient care, diagnostics, treatment and healthcare outcomes. From imaging systems to wearable tech, from digital health platforms to surgical instruments — medtech is a rich ecosystem with many career pathways. But the field is often seen as exclusive to engineers or scientists with decades of specialised training. That myth can put off experienced professionals with valuable transferable skills. This article cuts through the hype and gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on roles that exist, the skills employers actually want, how to retrain realistically, whether age really matters and how to position your experience for success.

How to Write a Medical Technology Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Medical technology sits at the intersection of healthcare, engineering, regulation and innovation. From diagnostics and imaging to digital health, robotics, wearables and regulated medical devices, medical technology roles require a rare combination of technical skill, regulatory awareness and patient-centred thinking. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Medical technology job adverts often generate either too few applications or the wrong type of applicants — candidates who are technically strong but unfamiliar with regulated environments, or healthcare professionals without the required engineering or product experience. In most cases, the problem is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Medical technology professionals are detail-oriented, risk-aware and selective. A vague or generic job ad signals poor regulatory understanding and weak product maturity. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, safety and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a medical technology job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious medtech employer.
