Quality Assurance Specialist – Cambridge
A growing Medical Devices company based in Cambridge is currently looking for a new Quality Assurance Specialist to assist in the development of the QMS system for ISO 13485 standards. They are open to candidates from alternative sectors, allowing for ISO 13485 standards training.
You will also be creating and managing technical files for several Medical Devices lines, including Class I, Class IIa and Class IIb Medical Devices. You’ll collaborate with a number of Medical Devices experts, but you will be the sole person focusing on Quality Assurance duties. However, you will receive Quality Assurance assistance from the parent company’s Quality Assurance Manager. Due to this, we are open to candidates who only have a couple of years of experience of ISO 9001 or QMS, but also keen to hear from people with more experience.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone a couple of years into their career and looking for more responsibility to lead the development of a QMS system, or for someone who is looking for a route into the Medical Devices sector under ISO 13485 standards. Due to the active work in setting up the QMS system, you will need to be in the office daily; however, over time there should be the opportunity for hybrid working.
It is expected that you would hold a degree in a subject that has led you into a Quality Assurance, Quality Engineering, or Design Assurance role.
Apart from having a Quality Assurance background, it would also be highly advantageous if you have a good understanding of Regulatory Affairs.
Part of your role will involve working alongside the manufacturing teams for these medical devices. Due to this, it would be highly beneficial if your Medical Devices Quality Assurance experience came from a Quality Engineering background, although this is not essential.
I anticipate a lot of interest in this role, so if you are interested, I suggest making an application now or risk missing out.
For more information, please feel free to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices recruitment, Science recruitment and Biotech recruitment specialists Newton Colmore Consulting, on +44 121 268 2240 or make an application and one of our team at Newton Colmore Consulting will contact you.....Read more...

Opportunity to build a rewarding career shaping young children’s futures
Employer Description:'It takes a village to raise a child’
A wonderful saying that beautifully captures how an entire community of people must interact with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.
After becoming a mum in 2013, our director, Helen, joined a generation of mothers juggling career and mum life. A careful balancing act which lead her to discover that, without the support of others, life was going to be a real struggle.
Since then her family has grown and she found the need to lean on the local community more and more, bringing her to where she is today – recreating new, a much loved community child care setting.
In October 2023 Jiminy Cricket, a 40 year old setting closed and the wonderful team who have helped care for so many local children were no longer there to support us. An increasingly common and sad situation for smaller independent settings these days.

Medical Devices Project Leader – Warwick
We’re looking for a driven and technically credible Project Leader to take a leading role in our Warwick based medical devices team. This is a chance to shape genuinely impactful technologies guiding ambitious development programmes that move from early concept through to full commercial launch, improving patient outcomes along the way.
You’ll be central to a fast‑moving, multidisciplinary environment, bringing structure, clarity and momentum to complex engineering challenges.

We’re looking for someone with a solid academic foundation in a discipline that naturally feeds into medical device design — mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, biomedical engineering or something closely aligned. Your technical grounding will allow you to engage confidently with design teams, challenge thinking where needed, and help steer the creation of robust, compliant and innovative products.
You’ll also play a key role in developing others. Mentoring junior engineers, sharing knowledge and helping shape their technical and professional growth will be an important part of your remit. We value leaders who build trust, lead by example and create an environment where people feel supported to do their best work.
What really sets you apart is your mindset. We’re drawn to people who are naturally curious — the kind who enjoy solving problems for the sake of it. If you have a technical hobby or side project that shows your passion for engineering or technology, that’s a real advantage. It tells us you think creatively, explore ideas and enjoy understanding how things work.
In return, you’ll receive an excellent starting salary, a strong pension scheme, performance‑related bonuses and ongoing opportunities for professional development. This is a role where your progression is taken seriously and your contributions are recognised.
