With a track record of innovation and development, Abbott Diabetes Care designs, develops and manufactures leading-edge glucose monitoring systems, for use in both home and hospital settings. We have a Global Centre of Excellence for Medical Devices based in Witney, Oxfordshire. The site manufactures significant volumes of test strips annually and has also been instrumental in the research, development and manufacture of the next generation FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System, launched in September 2014.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Technical Quality team as a QA Associate, supporting our Quality Engineers with systems change requests, software version control, database and archive management, and much more.

In this exciting new position within the team, you will:

·       Review, approve and process System Change Requests (SCRs), Configuration Management (CM) requests, and Engineering Changes (ECs) from across the site.

·       Support submission of Validation Packages to the Validation Library

·       Maintain Technical QA’s logs, including tracking SCRs, Validation Review Board (VRB), Defect Review Board (DRB) to closure

·       Support maintenance and update of the Site Validation Master Plan (SVMP) and validation metrics

·       Support audit requests for validation and change control listings

To be successful, you will have a minimum of secondary level education (to include English and Maths), and ideally bring experience in a similar role, or quality based environment. Good IT skills are required for this role along with strong written and oral skills to help generate clear and legible documentation and understand technical information.  Some of your work will involve cross-functional teams, so you’ll also need the communication and inter-personal skills to be able to build relationships with colleagues in various departments across the business.

In addition to a competitive salary, Abbott offers a highly attractive benefits package which includes a market-leading defined contribution pension scheme, private healthcare and life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements. At Witney, we also support our employees to live life to the fullest – whether it’s joining our couch to 5k team, tending the allotments, learning to be a bee keeper, dropping in for a yoga session, there is plenty going on for you to engage with as and when you wish!
