Quality Specialist

FTC – 18 month – Quality Specialist Role

Right now, a Bristol-based medical device company is ISO 9001 certified, but with manufacturing expanding, the focus is shifting to implementing ISO 13485 from the ground up.

That’s where you come in.

This is a standalone role, but you’re not alone.

You’ll be the go-to QA Specialist onsite, partnering closely with a consultancy who’s already deeply embedded and supported by a wider global group.

You’ll take the QMS from PDF-on-SharePoint to a living, breathing system. That means:

1. Running a full gap assessment
2. Adapting an existing 13485 QMS to fit this site
3. Writing SOPs and work instructions that people actually understand
4. Leading internal audits and driving certification forward
5. Training and coaching the team

About You

You’ve probably worked in a regulated manufacturing setting before maybe ISO 13485, maybe ISO 9001 or even automotive, and you get why quality matters.

But more than that, you know how to bring people with you.

You’re proactive, self-motivated, and confident in your judgement. You’re not afraid to ask questions or suggest improvements. And you know how to talk about standards in a way that doesn’t put people to sleep.

If you’ve done internal audits, written QMS documentation, and you know your way around quality principles, you’ll feel at home here.

Why This Role is Worth Your Time

You’ll be joining a company with serious growth: new facilities, new investment, and a people-first leadership team.

You’ll own the QMS journey locally, but with support from a wider group of QA professionals.

You’ll help build something that actually makes a difference and likely shape QMS approaches for other sites after this one.

It’s an 18-month FTC to start, but they expect it to go permanent.

Based in Bristol, working closely with the local leadership team.

Interviews are one stage, onsite – quick and respectful of your time.
