Job description

Are you ready to embark on a career with a company that places both its employees and customers at the heart of everything we do? If you're a motivated, customer-focused individual with a can-do attitude, we want to hear from you.

You’ll fit in well with us at Medstrom, where we have disrupted the market by providing proven and well-evidenced products and services to our busy customers, helping to make a real difference to both their workload and, crucially, their patients’ outcomes.

Established in 2010, Medstrom has grown substantially by being patient-focused to become the organisation we are today, whilst maintaining an open culture and ethos. In 2022, Medstrom became an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), unlike any other company in the industry. This allows each employee to have a vested interest in the company, where we can all contribute to and share in the company’s success.

We’re now looking for a Trainee Decontamination Technician to join our Oxford team on a full-time, permanent basis, working at our Thame service centre.

The Benefits

• Competitive basic salary of up to £24,784
• Contributory pension scheme
• 33 days’ annual leave entitlement
• Discounts and cashback on shopping, supermarkets, and holidays as part of our rewards scheme
• Salary Sacrifice Schemes, including Cycle to Work
• Full induction with great training and support from dedicated team members
• Receive a treat on your birthday
• Death in Service benefit provided
• Be a part of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) and the associated benefits of having a stake in the company

Your Role

As a Trainee Decontamination Technician, you will clean, maintain, and support the delivery of our products to customers throughout Oxfordshire, based within our service centre in Thame.

Whilst adhering to established quality processes, you’ll clean and test products, ensuring they are ready for use, and providing a high level of service to our internal technicians who will install products at customer sites.

Specifically, you will be:

• Cleaning, decontaminating, testing, and repairing products and making them ready for use
• Keeping an inventory of products and spare parts
• Ensuring compliance with quality processes, both internal and external
• Meeting daily product preparation targets
• Delivering a timely and appropriate service to in-field technicians
• Completing and recording electrical safety testing on products during tasks – you will be fully trained
• Completing tasks within the laundry (booking in, drying and inspection)
• Ensuring the cleanliness of the workplace
• Completing daily/weekly activity reports

Working hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday 9.30am – 6pm

About You

• Basic knowledge of hygiene and safety rules would be an advantage, but is not essential
• Basic PC skills to include email and MS Office
• A full driving licence would be an advantage to support the wider team, but is not essential as this role is site-based
• Electrical safety testing qualification or certificate would be equally desirable, but is not essential, as full training will be provided

Personal Requirements:

• The ability to work on your own initiative and follow procedures laid out by the business to achieve deadlines
• A proactive, ‘can-do’ attitude with a flexible outlook

Please note, this role will involve manual activities – lifting, carrying and loading products.

In addition to the salary and related benefits, you will join a company that has grew extensively within the last five years and, through our unique ownership model, is continuing to grow, whilst offering great career opportunities for those who are keen to progress.

Webrecruit and Medstrom are equal opportunities employers, value diversity and are strongly committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and all applicants for employment. Equal opportunities are the only acceptable way to conduct business and we believe that the more inclusive our environments are, the better our work will be.

Medstrom operates a zero-tolerance policy on any harassment of any kind towards our colleagues.
