The successful candidate will be a dynamic individual who ideally has some prior experience of ISO standards, either in their routine management or implementation within a field, but not necessarily healthcare. This role supports the ongoing maintenance of ORLAU's existing Quality Management System which underpins its compliance with international quality standards to ISO 13485 and 9001 for both its clinical and technical services.
Achievement of these complex standards allows ORLAU to fulfil the requirements of the UK Medical Devices Regulations so that our range of medical devices can be manufactured safely and legally.

You will be involved with training and supporting staff across the department to maintain compliance with quality processes, auditing and record keeping.
Main duties of the job
The role will appeal to an individual with an aptitude for attention to detail, with a systematic, data driven approach. Although much of the work will be desk-based, you will also be the type of person who enjoys working with a broad range of staff across a multidisciplinary team of clinical, technical and admin staff and have a positive, pragmatic and creative outlook.
